Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), requests a new clearance for the collection of performance measures specifically for new FY2023 Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program grantees. In FY2023, OPA expects to award 5-year TPP cooperative agreements to up to 96 organizations across three Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs). Collection of performance measures is a requirement of all TPP awards and is included in the NOFOs. 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 FY2023 TPP grantees, and facilitate individual grantees' continuous quality improvement efforts within their projects. OPA requests clearance for three years.
