Description: Shakespeare in American Communities (SiAC) is a
theater program that brings professional performances of William
Shakespeare's plays and related educational activities to middle and
high school students in communities across the United States, including
youth in juvenile justice facilities. The National Endowment for the
Arts (NEA) is the lead funder of the program, which is administered by
an organization engaged by the NEA under a cooperative agreement (the
Cooperator). This request is for a new data collection associated with
SiAC juvenile justice subawards (SiAC/JJ): a teaching artist web form
that has not been conducted in the past, as well as two supplemental
forms--a supplemental application form and a supplemental final report
form for subrecipients. This new data collection provides the NEA with
enhanced capability for monitoring program performance of juvenile
justice subawards, including understanding
[[Page 67110]]
how subaward projects are implemented and outcomes associated with each
project. Specifically, NEA and the Cooperator will use data from the
forms to collect information on the inputs, activities, and outputs of
each subrecipient program identified in the program's measurement
framework. In addition, information from the teaching artist data
collection form will be used to understand student and teacher outcomes
and potential successes that resulted from the subrecipient programs.
The data will inform internal NEA and Cooperator discussions about
project implementation and performance, potential program improvements,
and decision-making related to this program. The Cooperator may also
use the data to report on successes of the program in reports and
storytelling. This request is for a full clearance to administer the
web survey and supplemental forms.
Dated: August 14, 2024.

Administrative Officer (Deputy), Office of Administrative Services &
Contracts, National Endowment for the Arts.
