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.
