the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The evaluation involves seven data collection
activities. Initial interviews with Project Directors and leaders from
partner organizations and initial interviews with staff from lead and
partner organizations have been completed. This request includes the
remaining five activities:
<bullet> Survey Invitee Template: This template requests the
Project Director of each CWCC grant to fill out a Survey Invitee
Template to gather contact information for leaders and staff from lead
and partner organizations who the evaluation team will invite to
complete the Collaboration Survey (see below).
<bullet> Collaboration Survey: This electronic survey documents
perceptions that leaders and staff from the CWCC lead and partner
organizations have regarding their organizational/group processes,
implementation activities, and progress towards goals. This survey is
administered to staff at all grantee and partner organizations on an
annual basis during each cohort's grant period.
<bullet> Site Visit Planning Template: Each project director (or
their designee) will complete a Site Visit Planning Template
[[Page 52388]]
to schedule site visit activities prior to each annual site visit.
<bullet> Two Site Visit Discussion Guides: To systematically
document the approaches and strategies used by the first two cohorts of
CWCC grantees (fiscal year (FY) 18 and FY 19 awardees), the evaluation
team will conduct follow-up interviews with: (1) Project Directors from
lead grantee organizations and leaders from partner organizations, and
(2) Staff from the lead and partner organizations. These interviews
will take place during site visits. Each grantee will participate in
four site visits in total. As noted above, the first two have already
been completed.
Respondents: Leadership and staff from CWCC lead (grantee)
organizations and from partner organizations.
