OMB No. 0990-0438—OS-Office of Population Affairs

Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is requesting a revision of the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPP) performance measures to collect data from new grantees. In FY2020, OPA expects to award 3-year TPP cooperative agreements to up to 90 organizations across three funding announcements. Collection of performance measures is a requirement of all TPP grant awards and is included in the funding announcements. The measures include dissemination, partners, training, sustainability, reach, dosage, fidelity, quality, Tier 1 supportive services referrals, stakeholder engagement, and Tier 2 Innovation project stage. To reflect the priorities of the new funding announcements, some of the measures and forms have been revised. The data collection will allow OPA to comply with federal accountability and performance requirements, inform stakeholders of grantee progress in meeting TPP program goals, provide OPA with metrics for monitoring FY2020 TPP grantees, and facilitate individual grantees' continuous quality improvement efforts within their projects.

Clearance is requested for three years.

Type of respondent: TPP grantees and their staff.
