Abstract: The AmeriCorps Seniors Grant Application is for use by
prospective and existing sponsors of AmeriCorps Seniors projects under
the AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (RSVP), AmeriCorps Seniors Foster
Grandparent Program (FGP), AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Program
(SCP), and AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Demonstration Program SDP (SDP).
The Project Progress Report and Project Report Supplement will be
used to report progress toward accomplishing work plan goals and
objectives, reporting volunteer and service outputs, reporting actual
outcomes related to self-nominated performance measures, meeting
challenges encountered, describing significant activities, and
requesting technical assistance.
The Application Instructions and PPR and PRS forms in this package
conform to AmeriCorps' web-based electronic grants management system.
The SCP Independent Living Survey and SCP Respite Survey are
instruments that collect information from a sample of Senior Companion
clients and caregivers. The purpose of the surveys is to assess the
feasibility of conducting a longitudinal, quasi-experimental evaluation
of the impact of independent living and respite services on clients'
social ties and perceived social support. The results of the surveys
may also be used to inform the feasibility of using a similar
instrument to measure client and caregiver outcomes for an evaluation
of RSVP.
AmeriCorps also seeks to continue using the currently approved
information collection until the revised information collection is
approved by OMB. The currently approved information collection is due
to expire on 11/30/2025.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and/or included in the request for OMB approval. Comments are invited
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information
to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search data sources, to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. All written comments will be available for
public inspection on <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a>.
