40202 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 27, 2021 / Notices 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Grantees, program implementers, 

volunteer organizations and volunteers. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 422 respondents. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 218 hours. 

Abstract: The purpose of this 

evaluation is to study questions 

regarding grantees’ use of the peer 

recovery coach model and better 

determine how effective the model is at 

increasing individuals’ recovery capital, 

increasing attendance of health services, 

and decreasing incidence of substance 

use as well as on the peer recovery 

coaches and grantee organizations. The 

research questions for this evaluation 

are: 

1. Determine what recovery coach 

models look like (activity, setting, 

modality, etc.). 

2. Describe promising practices and 

challenges in implementing these 

models. 

3. Measure the effectiveness of the 

recovery coach model in improving 

outcomes for grantee organizations, 

recovery coaches, and beneficiaries. 

AmeriCorps will conduct a bundled 

evaluation of grantees that are 

implementing opioid recovery coaching 

models. Bundling allows AmeriCorps to 

combine a group of small programs 

across different funding streams with 

similar program models and intended 

outcomes into a single evaluation. 

Spanning 27 months, the evaluation 

will work with 14 grantees to examine 

program design, implementation, and 

outcomes using surveys, interviews, and 

focus groups with a wide range of 

stakeholders, including grantee staff, 

volunteers who support the peer 

recovery coach model, beneficiaries, 

and staff at organizations which partner 

with grantees. This is a new information 

collection.

Abstract: The purpose of this 

evaluation is to understand grantees’ 

use of Volunteer Generation Fund (VGF) 

grant program funds to support 

volunteer organizations and determine 

how effective grantees’ approaches are 

at enhancing the capacity of these 

organizations, increasing volunteer 

recruitment and retention, and 

increasing implementation of volunteer 

management best practices within their 

states. The research questions for this 

evaluation are: 

1. What are the grantees’ approaches 

for utilizing VGF funds to improve 

volunteer recruitment, retention, and 

support of volunteers within their states 

and among volunteer organizations? 

2. What are promising practices and 

challenges in implementing these 

programs? 

3. What are preliminary outcomes of 

these programs on volunteer 

organizations? 

ICF will conduct a bundled 

evaluation of grantees that are using 

VGF funds to increase recruitment and 

retention efforts within their states. By 

bundling, this evaluation combines a 

group of state commissions with similar 

program approaches into a single 

evaluation. Spanning 27 months, the 

evaluation includes 14 grantees to 

examine program design, 

implementation, and outcomes using 

surveys, interviews, and focus groups 

with a wide range of stakeholders 

including grantee staff, program 

implementers, volunteer organizations, 

and volunteers. This is a new 

information collection.
