This brief describes rates of child care disruptions and responses to disruptions during the pandemic by key household characteristics for households with children under age 5.

This document describes the Analysis Plan for evaluating the impacts of the Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) project and the first round of Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG 1.0) on key outcomes nine years after random assignment into the program.

This snapshot presents findings from analyses of the 2012 and 2019 NSECE home-based surveys about the use of out-of-school time care for school-aged children.

The Building and Sustaining the Child Care and Early Education Workforce (BASE) knowledge review series provides an overview of the existing literature and data on CCEE workforce dynamics and offers recommendations for future research and data collection.

This snapshot presents findings about the health insurance coverage among the center-based child care and early education workforce and how it varies by race and ethnicity.

This report presents findings from this mixed-methods study that investigates the factors associated with following the success sequence and economic self-sufficiency.

Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG 2.0) Intermediate-Term Impact Report 

Running from 2015 to 2021, the second round of the Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF’s) Health Profession Opportunity Grants Program (“HPOG 2.0”) funded grantees to provide support services and healthcare occupational training according to career pathways principles.  ACF’s Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) is administering a robust evaluation of the HPOG 2.0 effort: the National and Tribal Evaluation of the 2nd Generation of Health Profession Opportunity Grants.  The National Evaluation of 27 non-Tribal grantees is comparing outcomes and impacts for program applicants randomly assigned access to the grantees’ HPOG 2.0 programs (treatment group) versus those randomly assigned access only to services available elsewhere in the community (control group).

In early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, disrupting American lives, labor markets, and local HPOG 2.0 programs.  To better understand how COVID changed outcomes and impacts for HPOG 2.0 study members relative to the pre-COVID period, OPRE contracted with Abt Associates to conduct the HPOG 2.0 National Evaluation COVID-Cohort Study.

This Analysis Plan describes the methodology for answering the study’s key research questions.  The document also improves the transparency and replicability of study findings by committing the research team to make consequential decisions prior to inspecting estimates of program impacts.  Most methods and operationalizations of outcomes measures continue from earlier HPOG 2.0 impact analyses and are described in previous Analysis Plans.  This Analysis Plan therefore primarily focuses on specifying analytic methods and presentation strategies specific to this study’s understanding of how COVID shifted the HPOG 2.0 program.

This brief provides lessons learned and practitioner recommendations to help inform Health Profession Opportunity Grants policy and service delivery in rural contexts.

Summarize findings from OPRE’s HPOG 2.0 Systems Study to identify the extent to which systems activities, as implemented by HPOG program operators and their partners, may have influenced the local system.
