Abstract: ACF is implementing a multi-pronged research and evaluation approach for the HPOG program to better understand and assess the activities conducted and their results. The current submission is in support of the HPOG Impact Study (HPOG-Impact) and the HPOG National Implementation Evaluation (HPOG-NIE). Specifically, ACF seeks approval for 36-month follow up data collection for HPOG-Impact and for follow-on HPOG-NIE data collection activities. All 27 HPOG grantees serving TANF recipients and other low-income individuals are participating in HPOG-NIE; 20 are participating in HPOG-Impact. HPOG-Impact and HPOG-NIE are two projects within the broader portfolio of research that OPRE is utilizing to assess the success of the career pathways programs and models. This strategy includes a multi-pronged research and evaluation approach for the HPOG program to better understand and assess the activities conducted and their results as well as the Innovative Strategies for Improving Self-Sufficiency (ISIS) project. In order to maximize learning across the portfolio, survey development for the HPOG and ISIS baseline and follow up surveys is being coordinated, and the majority of the data elements collected in these surveys are similar.
