Project Outcomes Assessment Survey

The information collected by the Project Outcome Assessment Survey (POAS) is needed for two main reasons: 1. to collect crucial information required to report on the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Administration for Native Americans' (ANA) established Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures, and 2. to properly abide by ANA's congressionally-mandated statute (42 United States Code 2992 et seq.) found under the section titled ‘Evaluation’ in the Native American Programs Act of 1974, as amended, which states that ANA will evaluate projects assisted through ANA grant dollars “including evaluations that describe and measure the impact of such projects, their effectiveness in achieving stated goals, their impact on related programs, and their structure and mechanisms for delivery of services.” The information collected with this survey will fulfill ANA's statutory requirement. The proposed revisions were made in response to Executive Order (EO) 14112 Reforming Federal Funding and Support for Tribal Nations To Better Embrace Our Trust Responsibilities and Promote the Next Era of Tribal Self-Determination. This request is for a revision to the approved POAS to include the following updates: • Removed several questions that were determined to be superfluous and not reviewed by analysts. • Added more in-depth qualitative questions • Clarified some questions that were noted as ambiguous.
