PURPOSE:

The purpose of this Performance Progress Report is to help the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) assess the progress of the Preschool Development Grant Birth through Five (PDG B-5) renewal grantees.

This Performance Progress Report is tailored to the specific goals and objectives of the PDG B-5 Renewal Grants and will allow ACF to collect useful data from grantees in a uniform and systematic manner. ACF intends to analyze gathered data to provide a descriptive snapshot of grantees and assess progress over time. This Performance Progress Report will be collected annually and supplement the standard ACF required PPR (OMB #0970-0406), which will be collected with more frequency.

Eligible grantees include any State or Territory awarded a Fiscal Year 2018 PDG B-5 Initial Grant under funding opportunity number HHS-2018-ACF-OCC-TP-1379 or under PDG program that existed between 2014-2018. Currently, there are 47 states and territories eligible to apply for the PDG B-5 Renewal Grant.
