The performance measures data
collection will fulfill several important functions. First, OAH
expects its grantees to utilize the measures to make continuous
quality improvement in their program implementation and inform
their partners and stakeholders about implementation and
sustainability progress. Second, performance measures provide OAH
with metrics for monitoring TPP grantees so that project officers
can provide technical assistance when needed. Finally, OAH uses the
measures to report to OASH, OS, our budget office, and Congress on
the grantees' progress. Performance Measure data collection is a
requirement of all TPP grant awards and is included in the funding
announcements.
