The Office of Evaluation Sciences (OES), under the General Services Administration, is proposing new data collection activities for evaluating the American Rescue Plan (ARP). This project aims to assess how selected ARP-funded programs contribute to achieving equitable outcomes and to inform future program design across the Federal Government. The public is invited to submit comments on these proposed data collection activities by January 15, 2025. The evaluation will include case studies and involve various respondents such as state and local administrators, policy leaders, service providers, and parents who benefited from ARP services.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to check how well some programs, that were made to help people during tough times, are working and if they are fair for everyone. They will ask people who know or used the programs for their thoughts, but some people are worried it might take a lot of time to do this.
