SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is requesting approval to collect data for the Process Evaluation of the Aging Network and its Return on Investment [OMB #0985-New]. Many older adults have unmet health care and social service needs, which require coordinated care across a range of services, including access to nutritious meals, transportation, preventive health care, home and community-based care, social interaction, support for family caregivers, and advocacy to help maintain older adults' safety, dignity, and legal rights. This proposed data collection for the Process Evaluation of the Aging Network and its Return on Investment is intended to provide timely information on, (1) how agencies in the Aging Network collaborate to serve older adults and family caregivers, and (2) how agencies measure the effectiveness of their efforts with the goal of strengthening their reach and impact. Through this data collection ACL will investigate how states differ in their network structure, how agencies work together, and potential strategies for evaluating return on investments (ROI) of ACL programs. The Process Evaluation of the Aging Network and its Return on Investment will include: (1) A census of agencies in the Aging Network, and (2) key informant interviews with agencies that are evaluating ROI. The survey seeks to collect data from all State Units on Aging (SUAs), Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) (including some Aging and Disability Resource Centers), and Older Americans Act Title VI Native American tribal organizations. Surveying these organizations will help ACL understand how and with whom agencies in the network collaborate to address the needs of older adults and family caregivers, partnerships that have formed or expanded because of COVID-19, and how agencies measure the effectiveness and ROI of their various programs. The study will also include key informant interviews with a subset of 10 agencies that responded to the survey whose responses indicate that their agency is evaluating ROI. The data collection team will ask in-depth questions about the costs and benefits included in ROI calculations, successes and challenges to evaluating ROI, and lessons learned that could benefit other agencies seeking to conduct their own assessment of ROI.
