2015-2021
In 2015, OPRE awarded a contract to Abt Associates, in partnership with MEF Associates, Insight Policy Research, Urban Institute, and NORC at the University of Chicago, to conduct impact, outcome, and implementation studies of the second round of grants awarded under the Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) Program. The five Tribal HPOG 2.0 grantees participated in a comprehensive implementation and outcome study led by NORC at the University of Chicago. The five Tribal HPOG 2.0 grantees were:
- Cankdeska Cikana Community College in North Dakota;
- Great Plains Tribal Leaders Health Board in South Dakota;
- Turtle Mountain Community College in North Dakota;
- Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in Colorado; and
- Cook Inlet Tribal Council in Alaska.
The Tribal HPOG 2.0 evaluation assessed the HPOG programs administered by the Tribal grantees, using scientific methods and culturally appropriate approaches. The Tribal evaluation was guided by the principles outlined in the Roadmap for Collaborative and Effective Evaluation in Tribal Communities, developed by the Child Welfare Research and Evaluation Tribal Workgroup.
The Tribal evaluation used a mix of methods in collecting administrative quantitative and qualitative data. The research questions focused on the Tribal HPOG programs’ structure and processes.
