Education, Institute of Education 

Sciences (IES), National Center for 

Education Evaluation and Regional 

Assistance (NCEE). The central mission 

and primary function of the RELs is to 

support applied research and provide 

technical assistance to state and local 

education agencies within their region 

(ESRA, part D, section 174[f]). The REL 

program’s goal is to partner with 

educators and policymakers to conduct 

work that is change-oriented and 

supports meaningful local, regional, or 

state decisions about education policies, 

programs, and practices to improve 

outcomes for students. 

The Regional Educational Laboratory 

Northwest is developing a toolkit based 

on the Using Technology to Support 

Postsecondary Student Learning What 

Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Practice 

Guide to support student learning in 

community college contexts. 

Community college instructors, across 

all disciplines, including those who 

teach in person, hybrid (remote and in 

person), and online courses, are the 

primary audience for the Toolkit. 

This toolkit’s efficacy evaluation will 

collect information about the 

professional learning resources, 

organized as the eAcademy: 

Professional Learning for Using 

Technology to Enhance Learning, that 

will comprise the main component of 

the Toolkit. In the efficacy study, the 

eAcademy will be offered to instructors 

in community colleges in Oregon. The 

evaluation of the eAcademy includes 

two parts: first, using a random 

assignment design, researchers will 

examine the impact of the eAcademy on 

instructor knowledge, teaching 

practices, and student outcomes. 

Second, researchers will collect 

implementation data to understand 

fidelity of implementation, treatment 

contrast, and how the eAcademy 

influences instructor and student 

outcomes. 

The research questions include: What 

is the impact of the eAcademy on 

instructors’ awareness of technology 

tools for learning, knowledge of how to 

use technology for learning, and comfort 

using education technologies to support 

student learning, what is the impact of 

the eAcademy on instructors’ use of 

technology to support student learning, 

and what is the impact of the eAcademy 

on student engagement, interaction, 

course completion, and persistence to 

the next quarter? 

The goals of the program evaluation 

include documenting the content of 

eAcademy (topics covered and activities 

provided), the way the eAcademy is 

implemented, and the treatment dosage 

to understand fidelity of 

implementation. The evaluation study 

will provide further insight into how the 

eAcademy is related to instructor- and 

student-level outcomes, and the 

implementation study will document 

treatment contrast between the 

eAcademy and other available 

professional resources. eAcademy 

participation data will be used to affirm 

whether instructors in the treatment 

group accessed the professional 

resources and instructors in the control 

group did not. 

Findings from the implementation 

study may be used to improve future 

iterations of the eAcademy and to 

update the WWC Practice Guide 

recommendations. They may also 

generate ideas for new approaches to 

professional development that lead to 

better outcomes.

Title of Collection: National 

Implementation Study of Student 

Support and Academic Enrichment 

Grants (Title IV, Part A). 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0968. 

Type of Review: Revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

local, and Tribal governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 356. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 172. 

Abstract: This study will collect 

information about policy and program 

implementation of the grants 

administered under title IV, part A of 

the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965, as amended by 

the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), 

to describe and report on districts’ 

decision-making process for use of title

part A funds. The revision will amend 

the study to eliminate an optional 

survey planned for 2024 and add a new 

information collection. The new 

collection will obtain information about 

a new grant administered through title 

IV–A, the Bipartisan Safer Communities 

Act (BSCA) Stronger Connections (SC) 

grant program, which awards funds to 

states and districts to promote safer, 

more inclusive learning environments 

and support the social, emotional, 

physical, and mental health of students.

Title of Collection: 2023–24 National 

Postsecondary Student Aid Study 

(NPSAS:24) Full-Scale Study—Student 

Data Collection and Student Records. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–0666. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Individuals and households. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 109,145. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 91,185. 

Abstract: This request is to conduct 

the 2023–24 National Postsecondary 

Student Aid Study (NPSAS:24) FullScale Student Data and Student Records 

Collections. This study is being 

conducted by the National Center for 

Education Statistics (NCES), within the 

Institute of Education Sciences (IES), 

part of the U.S. Department of 

Education. This submission covers 

materials and procedures related to 

institution sampling, enrollment list 

collection, and matching to 

administrative data files as part of the 

NPSAS:24 data collection. The materials 

and procedures are based on those 

developed for previous institution-based 

data collections, including the 2019–20 

National Postsecondary Student Aid 

Study (NPSAS:20) [OMB #1850–0666 

v.23], and the 2017–18 National 

Postsecondary Student Aid Study 

Administrative Collection (NPSAS:18– 

AC) [1850–0666 v.21]. The first NPSAS 

was implemented by NCES during the 

1986–87 academic year to meet the need 

for national data about significant 

financial aid issues. 

Since 1987, NPSAS has been fielded 

every 2 to 4 years, most recently during 

the 2019–20 academic year (NPSAS:20). 

NPSAS:24 will be nationallyrepresentative. The NPSAS:24 sample 

size will include about 2,000 

institutions from which will be sampled 

137,000 nationally representative 

undergraduate and 25,000 nationally 

representative graduate students who 

will be asked to complete a survey and 

for whom we will collect student 

records and administrative data. Also, 

NPSAS:24 is scheduled to serve as the 

base year for the 2024 cohort of the 

Baccalaureate and Beyond (B&B) 

Longitudinal Study, but no funding is 

available to field follow-up surveys. In 

the event Congress appropriates 

additional funds, the NPSAS:24 

sampling design will include a 

nationally representative sample of 

students who will complete 

requirements for the bachelor’s degree 

during the NPSAS year (i.e., completed 

at some point between July 1, 2023, to 

June 30, 2024). Subsets of questions in 

the student survey will focus on 

describing aspects of the experience of 

students in their last year of 

postsecondary education, including 

student debt, education experiences, 

and preparation activities for those 

planning to teach at the preK through 

12th grade level. 

Previous submissions were designed 

to adequately justify the need for and 

overall practical utility of the full study, 

presenting the overarching plan for all 

phases of the data collection and 

providing as much detail about the 

measures to be used as is available at 

the time of this submission. As part of 

the completed field test, NCES 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register allowing first a 60- and then a 

30-day public comment period. Field 

test materials, procedures, and results 

have informed this request for clearance 

for the full-scale study. For this fullscale study, NCES first published a 

notice in the Federal Register allowing 

an additional 30-day public comment 

period on the final details of the 

NPSAS:24 full-scale study Institution 

Contacting and List Collection, which 

was approved in September 2023 

(OMB# 1850–0666 v.35). NCES is now 

submitting a separate clearance package 

covering the student data collection, 

including the student record data 

abstraction and student surveys, for an 

additional 30-day public comment 

period.
