Title of Collection: AmeriCorps Program Life Cycle Evaluation--
Opioid Recovery Coach Model Bundled Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: TBD. Type of Review: New.
[[Page 40202]]
Respondents/Affected Public: Grantees, program implementers,
volunteer organizations and volunteers.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 422 respondents.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 218 hours.
Abstract: The purpose of this evaluation is to study questions
regarding grantees' use of the peer recovery coach model and better
determine how effective the model is at increasing individuals'
recovery capital, increasing attendance of health services, and
decreasing incidence of substance use as well as on the peer recovery
coaches and grantee organizations. The research questions for this
evaluation are:
1. Determine what recovery coach models look like (activity,
setting, modality, etc.).
2. Describe promising practices and challenges in implementing
these models.
3. Measure the effectiveness of the recovery coach model in
improving outcomes for grantee organizations, recovery coaches, and
beneficiaries.
AmeriCorps will conduct a bundled evaluation of grantees that are
implementing opioid recovery coaching models. Bundling allows
AmeriCorps to combine a group of small programs across different
funding streams with similar program models and intended outcomes into
a single evaluation. Spanning 27 months, the evaluation will work with
14 grantees to examine program design, implementation, and outcomes
using surveys, interviews, and focus groups with a wide range of
stakeholders, including grantee staff, volunteers who support the peer
recovery coach model, beneficiaries, and staff at organizations which
partner with grantees. This is a new information collection.
Dated: July 21, 2021.

Director, Office of Research and Evaluation.
