Title of the Collection: ASPE Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Research and Assessment.
Type of Collection: (Revision).
OMB No. 0990-0421--Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning
and Evaluation (ASPE).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE) is requesting a three-year renewal with change for
their generic clearance for purposes of conducting qualitative
research. The ICR is for an extension of the approved information
collection assigned OMB control number 0990-0421, scheduled to expire
on January 31, 2024. ASPE conducts qualitative research to gain a
better understanding of emerging health and human services policy
issues, develop future intramural and extramural research projects, and
to ensure HHS leadership, agencies and offices have recent data and
information to inform program and policy decision-making. ASPE is
requesting approval for at least four types of qualitative research
which include, but are not limited to, (a) interviews, (b) focus
groups, (c) questionnaires, and (d) other qualitative methods.
ASPE advises the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human
Services on policy development in health, disability, human services,
data, and science, and provides advice and analysis on economic policy.
ASPE leads special initiatives, coordinates many of the Department's
evaluation, research and demonstration activities, and manages cross-
Department planning activities such as implementation of the Evidence
Act, strategic planning, legislative planning, and review of
regulations. Integral to this role, ASPE will use this mechanism to
conduct qualitative research, evaluation, or assessment, conduct
analyses, and understand needs, barriers, or facilitators for HHS-
related programs and services.
ASPE is requesting comment on the increased burden for qualitative
research aimed at understanding emerging health and human services
policy issues. The goal of developing these activities is to identify
emerging issues and research gaps to ensure the successful
implementation of HHS programs. The participants may include health and
human services experts; national, state, and local health or human
services representatives; public health, human services, or healthcare
providers; and representatives of other health or human services
organizations, and people with lived experience.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: ASPE is requesting
comment on the burden for qualitative research aimed at understanding
emerging health and human services policy issues. The goal of
developing these activities is to identify emerging issues and research
gaps to ensure the successful implementation of HHS programs. The
participants may include health and human services experts; national,
state, and local health or human services representatives; public
health, human services, or healthcare providers; and representatives of
other health or human services organizations, and people with lived
experience. The increase in burden from 2,000 annually in 2020 to 5,000
respondents annually in 2023 reflects an increase in the number of
research projects and information collections expected to be conducted
over the next three years.
