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.
