B. Collections of Information employing statistical methods
Contractor staff from ETR associates will use Survey Gizmo to conduct a voluntary needs assessment data collection from grantees funded under cooperative agreement # PS 13-1308, Strategies 2 & 3. The information collected has to do with organization needs for professional development and training. Simple frequency distributions in table and chart format will be used to analyze the data which will be used to guide professional development and training for these funded sites.
1. Respondent Universe and Sampling Methods
No statistical sampling will be used. All funded sites,(42), funded under Cooperative Agreement # PS 13-1308, Strategies 2 & 3 will be sent the survey. These include State Education Agencies (SEA), Local Education Agencies (LEA) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO). The response rate is expected to be close to 100% because the respondents and contractor are funded CDC funded.
2. Procedures for the Collection of Information
Data collection methods
The contractor, ETR will send out an introductory e-mail with the link to the survey (Attachment 4). One subsequent reminder e-mail will be sent (Attachment 4a). Any non-respondents will be reminded during regularly scheduled phone calls with Project Officers,(Attachment 5).
ETR, funded under contract# 200-2013-F-57593, will distribute the survey via Survey Gizmo, collect, clean, and analyze the data and provide a report to CDC. The survey respondents are all those funded under Cooperative Agreement # PS 13-1308, Strategies 2 & 3.
Data Transmittal
Data will be collected, stored and transmitted on a system that has current IT Compliance and Assurance from CDC.
3. Methods to Maximize Response Rate and Deal with Nonresponse
Funded sites will be the sent the survey via Survey Gizmo and at least two reminder e-mails will be sent prior to closing the survey. Project officers will also remind grantees to fill out the survey as an agenda item on routine monthly conference calls. Because all respondents are also funded grantees, it is expected that the response rate will be close to 100%.
4. Tests of Procedures or Methods to be Undertaken
Initial analysis of the needs assessment data will be conducted using Survey Gizmo features. It is anticipated that results will be reported in a descriptive manner using frequency distributions, and at a minimum, stratifying the data by organizational type (e.g., SEA, LEA). When necessary, data will be imported into SPSS for more advanced examination.
