resources) is minimized; collection 

instruments are clearly understood; and 

the impact of collection requirements on 

respondents is properly assessed. 

Currently, the NEA is soliciting

Title: Participant Outcomes Survey for 

the Creative Forces®: NEA Military 

Healing Arts Network Community Arts 

Engagement Subgranting Program. 

OMB Number: New. 

Frequency: One-time pilot test of 

survey.

40556 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 129 / Thursday, July 7, 2022 / Notices 

Affected Public: Participants of 

Creative Forces Community Engagement 

Programs/Events. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

360 (350 program participants, 10 

project directors). 

Total Burden Hours: 199.3 annually. 

Total annualized capital/startup 

costs: 0. 

Total annual costs (operating/ 

maintaining systems or purchasing 

services): The total one-time contracted 

cost to the Federal Government for 

survey development, cognitive testing, 

and pilot testing is $75,000. 

Description: This is a request for 

clearance for the NEA to conduct a pilot 

test of the Participant Outcomes Survey 

to assess individual-level outcomes 

associated with the Creative Forces®: 

NEA Military Healing Arts Network 

Community Engagement Grant Program 

(http://www.maaa.org/creativeforces/). 

This is a new data collection request, 

and the data to be collected are not 

available elsewhere unless collected 

through this information collection. The 

pilot study will enable the NEA to test 

and refine the survey’s methodology for 

assessing outcomes and the 

administration process. 

The Creative Forces®: NEA Military 

Healing Arts Network seeks to improve 

the health, well-being, and quality of 

life for military and veteran populations 

exposed to trauma, and for their families 

and caregivers through clinical and nonclinical programs (https://www.arts.gov/ 

initiatives/creative-forces). Creative 

Forces is funded through Congressional 

appropriation. The Congressional 

Committee on Appropriation ‘‘supports 

the NEA’s continued efforts to expand 

upon this successful program to embed 

Creative Arts Therapies at the core of 

integrative care efforts in clinical 

settings, advance collaboration among 

clinical and community arts providers 

to support wellness and reintegration 

efforts for affected families, and advance 

research to improve our understanding 

of impacts of these interventions in both 

clinical and community settings.’’ 

According to the National 

Endowment for the Arts 2018–2022 

Strategic Plan (page 20), evidence 

building for Strategic Objective 2.4, 

Support Access to Creative Arts 

Therapies and Evidence-Based Programs 

in the Arts and Health, involves ‘‘the 

development of a community 

engagement research agenda and 

framework for defining indicators and 

developing metrics for measuring the 

impact and benefits from participation 

in therapeutic arts interventions and 

community-based arts engagement 

programs aligned with, or 

complementary to, Creative Forces 

clinical program outcomes.’’ 

Beginning in 2022, Creative Forces 

will award Community Engagement 

Grants to support non-clinical arts 

engagement programming for militaryconnected populations through 

matching grants of $10,000 to $50,000 

for emerging (‘‘Emerging’’) and 

established (‘‘Advanced’’) communitybased arts engagement projects to serve 

military-connected populations. The 

NEA anticipates awarding 

approximately 30 awards annually, with 

the first round of grant-funded projects 

taking place after July 1, 2022. The grant 

program will support a range of program 

models (e.g., ongoing class, drop-in 

studio, single event) designed to meet 

local needs. The grant program will be 

the largest coordinated effort in the U.S. 

to provide community arts engagement 

programming for military and veteran 

populations exposed to trauma, and for 

their families and caregivers. The 

Creative Forces Community Engagement 

Grant Program is conducted in 

partnership with Mid-America Arts 

Alliance (M–AAA). 

During development of the 

Community Engagement Grant program, 

the NEA (1) documented the needs of 

military and veteran populations 

exposed to trauma, and of their families 

and caregivers, (2) identified goals for 

community arts engagement 

programming and four outcomes for 

participants, (3) produced logic models 

and measurement frameworks for the 

grantee and national program levels, (4) 

contributed to grant guidelines, and (5) 

evaluated methodologies and 

instruments for data collection. The 

Participant Outcomes Survey assesses 

four participant outcome areas 

identified during development of the 

grant program: Creative Expression, 

Social Connectedness, Resilience, and 

Independence and Successful 

Adaptation to Civilian Life. Participants 

of the programs supported by a Creative 

Forces Community Engagement grant 

will complete the survey at the 

beginning (pre) and end (post) of 

participation in the program. Program 

participants will be asked to complete 

an enrollment form. Project directors 

will be asked to participate in an 

interview following the end of the 

survey administration period. 

The purpose of the Participant 

Outcomes Survey is to determine the 

impact of the Community Engagement 

Grant Program by measuring the extent 

of change over time (pre-to-post) in the 

four participant outcomes and to inform 

ongoing program improvement. 

Through this pilot test of the survey, the 

NEA will evaluate the effectiveness of 

the survey instrument and the 

administration process during the first 

cycle of the grant program. The data 

collection activities are planned for 

January through June 2023. A regular 

PRA clearance package will be 

submitted in FY 2023 for a Creative 

Forces Community Engagement Grant 

Program evaluation study that utilizes 

this survey instrument.
