The goal of the information clearance
request is to revise the existing approved Teen Pregnancy
Prevention (TPP) program performance measures to reflect changes in
the newest TPP funding annoucements that are being competed in
spring 2020. In FY2020, the Office of Population Affairs (OPA)
expects to award 3-year TPP cooperative agreements to up to 90
organizations. To reflect the priorities of the new funding
announcements, some of the measures and forms have been revised.The
performance measures data collection will fulfill several important
functions. First, OPA 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 OPA with metrics for monitoring TPP grantees so
that project officers can provide technical assistance when needed.
Finally, OPA 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.

There are new TPP grants
anticipated to be awarded in the summer 2020. The respondent
numbers have been revised based on the number of grantees the
agency anticipates would be funded in 2020. The program office has
revised some of the measures in order to reflect the funding
announcements. There are new items on stakeholder engagement to
reflect the priorities of the new funding annoucements, as well as

addition, the cost measures have been eliminated due to low
response levels in the previous cohort.
