Title of the Collection: Advancing the response to COVID-19 Learning Community Measure.
Type of Collection: (New).
OMB No. 0990-NEW-Office of the Secretary/Office of Minority Health.
Abstract: The Office of Minority Health (OMH) is seeking an approval by OMB on a new information collection, advancing the response to COVID-19 Learning Community Measure (hereafter COVID-19 Learning Community Measure). The purpose of this data collection is to gather quantitative and qualitative data from Learning Community members to monitor learning community performance in achieving process and outcome measures over the course of the one-year project. OMH will collect a set of process and outcome measures from program participants to assess the degree to which the learning community is effective in connecting subject matter experts and public health leaders, facilitating networking, and peer-to-peer information sharing of promising practices, programs, and/or policy.
The clearance is needed to collect data to enable OMH to monitor and evaluate the COVID-19 Learning Community performance. The data will be used to report the impact of the COVID-19 Learning Community. The ability to monitor and evaluate performance in this manner, and to work towards continuous program improvement are basic functions that OMH must be able to accomplish in order to carry out goals for the COVID-19 Learning Community and to ensure the most effective and appropriate use of resources.
Likely Respondents: Members and staff from academia, community organizations, local/state/federal government, private sector, and tribal government and services who serve American Indian and Alaska Native and/or racial and ethnic minorities.
