The performance measures data include grantee-level measures (dissemination, partners, training, sustainability), and program-level data (reach, dosage, fidelity and quality). The data collection will provide OAH with the data needed to comply with accountability and federal performance requirements for the 1993 Government Performance and Results Act (Pub. L. 103-62); it will inform stakeholders of progress in meeting the goals of the program and of sustainability efforts; it will provide OAH with metrics for monitoring TPP grantees and it will facilitate grantees' continuous quality improvement in program implementation. Clearance is requested for three years.

The likely respondents would be the estimated 85 TPP grantees. TPP grantees will report all of the data to OAH twice per year.
