Abstract

Legal authority for this data collection is found in Public Law 116-315, Sec. 5402 – “Study of Barriers for Women Veterans to Receipt of Health Care from Department of Veterans Affairs” which requires VA to conduct an independent comprehensive study of the barriers to the provision of comprehensive health care for women Veterans. Per Sec. 5402, this current study is to build on previous studies “National Survey of Women Veterans in Fiscal Year 2007–2008” and “Study of Barriers for Women Veterans to VA Health Care 2015.” The aim of the proposed survey is to better understand barriers women Veterans face accessing VA care, the comprehensiveness of care, and progress made in reducing barriers to VA healthcare for women Veterans since the previous study conducted in 2015. The data collected will allow VA to plan and provide better health care for women Veterans and to support reports to Congress about the status of women Veterans’ health care.

Abstract

The Expanding Opportunity Through Quality Charter Schools Program (CSP) is authorized under Title IV, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (20 U.S.C. 7221-7221j). On March 14, 2022, the Department published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Priorities, Requirements, Definitions, and Selection Criteria for CSP Grants to State Entities (SE Grants), Grants to Charter Management Organizations for the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (CMO Grants), and Grants to Charter School Developers for the Opening of New Charter Schools and for the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (Developer Grants) (Vol. 87, No. 49, pages 14197-14210) (CSP NPP). Specifically, the Department proposed new priorities, application requirements, assurances, definitions, and selection criteria to create results-driven policies to help promote positive student outcomes, student and staff diversity, educator and community empowerment, promising practices, and accountability, including fiscal transparency and responsibility, in charter schools supported with CSP funds, which can serve as models for other charter schools. Based on the CSP NPP and public comments, the Department issued a notice of final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria for CSP SE Grants, CMO Grants and Developer Grants (CSP NFP), which published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2022. The final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria in the CSP NFP are intended to supplement existing statutory and regulatory requirements governing CSP SE Grants, CMO Grants, and Developer Grants. The Charter School Programs Office of the Department is requesting continued approval of this information collection for CSP SE Grants, CMO Grants, and Developer Grants generally; and for the CSP NFP, which requires the submission of a needs analysis and information regarding contracts with for-profit management organizations. The CSP (Assistance Listing Numbers (ALN) 84.282, including SE Grants (84.282A), CMO Grants (84.282M), and Developer Grants (84.282B and 84.282E)) is a competitive discretionary grant program. The grant applications submitted for this program are evaluated based on how well an applicant addresses the selection criteria (and any competitive preference priorities) and are used to determine applicant eligibility and award amounts for projects selected for funding.

Abstract

The goal of this Generic clearance and its surveys is to capture feedback from actual users of the system immediately after they finish using the system, while their user experience, negative or positive, is still fresh in their minds. This user feedback will allow our team to discover areas of improvement within EPS. It will help us improve the user experience, provide better service/support, improve marketing strategies, and identify gaps/issues that require resolution. For example, if we get several responses through the collection instrument stating that users feel that the EPS system is slow, we can use that feedback to invest efforts into increasing the EPS response times. As the feedback is analyzed and implemented over time, the survey questions will evolve to support implemented changes, providing the EPS team with the most up-to-date feedback on system improvement. By using a Generic Instrument Collection, the survey will evolve over time. Within the CMS EPS, features are frequently added, and sometimes even removed. The team needs to be able to add new survey questions, specific to those new features, in order to capture valuable feedback on the effectiveness, ease-of-use, pain points, and areas of improvement for the feature. When features are removed from the CMS EPS, questions relevant to those features must be modified or removed from the survey as well. In general, given that the CMS EPS is a dynamic system, designed to meet enterprise needs that change over time, a Generic Instrument Collection will allow the survey to evolve as the system evolves, and remain relevant, capturing up-to-date feedback on the system.
