The Administration on Aging (AoA), now
part of the Administration for Community Living, will use this set
of data collection tools to monitor 22 grantees that were awarded
cooperative agreements in response to the "PPHF 2012 Empowering
Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease
Self-Management Education (CDSME) Programs financed by 2012
Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF-2012) funding opportunity.
The PPHF is accompanied by a high level of transparency, oversight,
and accountability. All recipients of PPHF must follow Health and
Human Services guidance related to the tracking, monitoring and
reporting on the use of PPHF financing. AoA has outlined basic
requirements for reporting in the CDSME Program Announcement and in
the Standard Terms and Conditions of grantees' notice of awards.
These notices require each grantee to prepare and submit progress
reports to AoA that will enable the agency to monitor program
performance. AoA will use the information to: 1) comply with
reporting requirements required by the authorizing statutes, 2)
collect data for performance measures used in the justification of
the budget to Congress and by program, state and national decision
makers, 3) effectively manage the CDSME program at the federal,
state, and local levels, 4) identify program implementation issues
and technical assistance needs, 5) identify best practices to serve
as the basis for developing resources to help grantees learn from
and replicate these practices, and 6) to provide information for
reports to Congress, other government agencies, stakeholders and to
the public about grantee progress. Data will be collected from
State-level public health or state unit on aging government staff,
local community agency staff and volunteers involved in delivering
CDSME workshops, as well as individuals who participate in CDSME
workshops.
This is a new data collection
effort and does not build on a previous submission.
