information collection, Advancing the response to COVID-19 Learning 
Community Measure (hereafter COVID-19 Learning Community Measure). The 
purpose of this data collection is to gather quantitative and 
qualitative data from Learning Community members to monitor learning 
community performance in achieving process and outcome measures over 
the course of the one-year project. OMH will collect a set of process 
and outcome measures from program participants to assess the degree to 
which the learning community is effective in connecting subject matter 
experts and public health leaders, facilitating networking, and peer-
to-peer information sharing of promising practices, programs, and/or 
policy.
    The OMB clearance will enable OMH to monitor and evaluate the 
COVID-19 Learning Community performance. The data will be used to 
report the impact of the COVID-19 Learning Community. The ability to 
monitor and evaluate performance in this manner, and to work towards 
continuous program improvement are basic functions that OMH must be 
able to accomplish in order to carry out goals for the COVID-19 
Learning Community and to ensure the most effective and appropriate use 
of resources.

organizations, local/state/federal government, private sector, and
