Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) seeks approval to collect a revised set of performance measures which were previously approved under OMB Contol #0970-0398, for the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP). We seek a separate Control # (rather than an update/reapproval of the previous ICR), since the previous collection was part of a comprehensive descriptive/evaluative effort of the first cohort of PREP programs (funded FYs 2010-2015). The new ICR is associated with a new, and anticipated ongoing, effort to collect data from all PREP grantees. ACF is seeking approval to collect performance measures across all PREP programming (i.e., State PREP, Competitive PREP, Tribal PREP, and Personal Responsibility Education – Innovative Strategies (PREIS)) and to collect a small set of additional “core measures” for local evaluations for PREIS grantees. This approval will support PREP-funded programs in collecting and reporting their performance data through the PREP data warehouse.
