    Abstract: The Promise Neighborhoods program aims to build on 
existing community services and strengths to provide a comprehensive 
and coordinated pipeline of educational and developmental services from 
``cradle to career'' to benefit children and families in the country's 
most distressed neighborhoods. Congress has invested $506 million in 
Promise Neighborhoods grants and mandated an evaluation of the program.
    This package requests approval to conduct a survey of Promise 
Neighborhoods grantees and to collect multiple years of administrative 
school records from districts. These data will be used to study the 
implementation and outcomes of the Promise Neighborhoods program.
