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.
