Title of Collection: AmeriCorps Program Life Cycle Evaluation--
Puerto Rico Bundled Evaluation.
OMB Control Number: 3045-NEW. Type of Review: New.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals and households (national
service members, national service member alumni, community members),
businesses and organizations (grantee and sponsor organization project
director and staff, partner organization staff, non-supported
organizations), and State, local, or Tribal governments (the Puerto
Rico service commission staff).
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 697 responses.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 530 hours.
Abstract: The purpose of this evaluation is to provide insight on
the context, implementation, and outcomes of 13 AmeriCorps-supported
organizations in Puerto Rico with AmeriCorps State and National formula
grants (funded through the Puerto Rico service commission,
Comisi[oacute]n de Voluntariado y Servicio Comunitario), as well as
those that have both AmeriCorps State and National grants and
AmeriCorps VISTA projects. The evaluation will also explore the
effectiveness of evaluation capacity-building workshops to be provided
to the bundle participants.
AmeriCorps will conduct a 15 month long bundled evaluation of
grantees and sponsors in Puerto Rico. Bundling combines programs and
projects in a similar place into a single evaluation. The bundled
evaluation will use surveys, interviews, and focus groups with a wide
range of stakeholders, including grantee and sponsor organization
project directors and staff, national service members, national service
member alumni, community members, partner organization staff, non-
supported organizations, and the Puerto Rico service commission staff.
