Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Proposed Projects: Conduct an electronic survey of 2012-funded 
Family Connection grantees to collect process evaluation data to 
include as part of the Cross-Site Evaluation.
    Title: Cross-site Evaluation Survey 2012 Family Connection Grantees
    OMB No.: 0970-NEW
    Description: In the interest of providing as complete an evaluation 
report as possible by the end of FY15, the Children's Bureau has 
directed the contractor conducting the Cross-site Evaluation to adopt 
the most efficient means possible to collect process evaluation data 
from grantees. The proposed electronic survey will replace originally 
planned in-person and telephone discussions with electronic surveys. 
This will enable collection of key information on project design, 
implementation, maintenance, and sustainability from key grantee 
representatives in an abbreviated amount of time. The quantitative 
nature of the surveys will enable rapid data analysis and reporting.
    Respondents: The Cross-site Evaluation addresses a total of 
seventeen (17) Family Connection grantees. Four categories of 
participants will be surveyed: Project Leadership, Service Providers, 
Project Partners (public child welfare and community agencies), and 
Evaluators. For each grantee, an average of 20 respondents is 
anticipated: 4 project leadership, 9 service providers, 2 public child 
welfare agency representatives, 2 community partner representatives, 
and 3 evaluators. These numbers of participants, per category, are used 
in the table below to calculate the number of respondents, across the 
17 projects to be surveyed. Differences in burden estimates for the 
different instruments reflect the number of questions in each.
