Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Goal-Oriented Adult Learning in Self-Sufficiency Study
    OMB No.: New Collection
    Description: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is 
proposing a data collection activity as part of the Goal-Oriented Adult 
Learning in Self-Sufficiency (GOALS) study. The purpose of the GOALS 
project is to address the nexus between the growing knowledge base in 
the psychological sciences and long-standing approaches to self-
sufficiency programs targeted to adults and young adults. The project 
will explore the programmatic implications of existing research on 
psychological processes associated with goal-directed behaviors, 
including socio-emotional regulation and cognitive skills, executive 
functioning, and related areas. The project will synthesize current 
research on these topics; address how insights gained from research can 
be used to promote economic advancement among low-income populations, 
identify promising strategies, or strengthen underlying skills in these 
areas; and inform measurement of changes and developments in skill 
acquisition.
    The proposed information collection activity consists of 
exploratory calls with program directors and administrators, semi-
structured interviews with key program staff and community partner 
organization staff, and focus group discussions with program 
participants. ACF seeks to gain an in-depth, systematic understanding 
of program administration and implementation, service delivery and 
operation, outputs and outcomes, and identify promising practices and 
other areas for further study.
    Respondents: Key program directors and administrators, program 
staff and community partner organization staff, and program 
participants at selected program sites.
