Abstract of proposed collection: 

This request for a new information 

collection will allow ECA/P/V to 

conduct a survey to provide data not 

currently available. The survey is 

designed to assess the effectiveness of 

the YTYA Program in achieving its 

stated goals and objectives, and assess 

the outcomes of this two-way, bi-lateral 

exchange program that included 235 

young Turkish and young American 

participants from 2009 to 2011. This 

study is authorized by the Mutual 

Educational and Cultural Exchange Act 

of 1961, as amended (also known as the 

Fulbright-Hays Act) (22 U.S.C. 2451 et 

seq.). The survey will be sent 

electronically to be completed via web 

survey to all program participants of the 

years stated above. Data gathered will 

enable analysis that can potentially be 

used to design similar bi-lateral 

exchange programs, improve existing 

programs, and to inform ongoing and 

future exchange programs in ECA. 

Methodology: 

The survey and all notifications will 

be entirely electronic to ease any burden 

on the participant. The survey will be 

distributed and responses received 

electronically using the survey 

application Vovici.
