Office of Population Affairs (OPA)
Title X Family Planning Annual Report (FPAR) 2.0

Grantee Readiness Survey


Introductory Email Text/Survey Preamble and Instructions:

Dear Title X Grantees:

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) has been developing a standards-based reporting system to collect data at the individual patient level in a standardized format from all Title X-funded service sites. This new data reporting system, Family Planning Annual Report (FPAR) 2.0, will allow OPA to measure key performance metrics related to women’s health, family planning, and related preventive service provisions which have not previously been possible. These benefits will be realized through a transition from aggregate-level data collection and reporting (FPAR) to encounter-level data collection and reporting (FPAR 2.0). FPAR 2.0 will greatly improve the quality of data available; relieve the administrative burden on Title X sites and grantees; and increase the usability of data for improved monitoring, support, and quality improvement by grantees and subrecipients. Grantees will be expected to collect encounter-level data from their subrecipients and service sites, and to store, manage, and report that data to OPA.

A link to the draft of the FPAR 2.0 data elements and response options is included here and in the survey.


FPAR 2.0 Grantee Readiness Survey Instructions

Purpose of the Survey: The MayaTech Corporation has been contracted by OPA to conduct a survey of the capacity of grantees and their sub-recipients in preparation for FPAR 2.0. The results will be used to:

  • assess the extent to which grantees have the capacity to modify, develop, or outsource the development of an encounter-level data collection and reporting system.

  • assess the extent to which sub-recipients have the capacity to collect encounter-level data and report that data to a grantee-managed system.

  • assess the scope and timing of a transition from FPAR to FPAR 2.0 for participating grantees and sub-recipients.


Additionally, grantee specific data and results from the survey will be shared back with each grantee. The information can be used by grantees to help in their FPAR 2.0 preparations.


Who Should Complete the Survey: This survey contains questions for both grantees and subrecipient agencies.


For Grantees:

The grantee-specific questions aim to provide OPA with information about grantee readiness to transition to FPAR 2.0. These questions should be completed by someone within the grant project who has knowledge of the grantee network’s readiness to either carry out or oversee the collection, storage, and submission of FPAR 2.0 encounter data.

  • If you are a grantee with no subrecipient agencies, please complete both the grantee-level questions and the EHR/EMR questions.

  • If you are a grantee with an EHR/EMR and you have subrecipients, please complete the EHR/EMR questions, and have at least one subrecipient representative complete the questions for each unique EHR/EMR used in your grant project.

  • If you are a grantee without an EHR/EMR, and have subrecipients with an EHR/EMR, please have at least one subrecipient representative complete the questions for each unique EHR/EMR used in your grant project.


In addition, we ask that you forward a link to this survey to select subrecipients. Instructions for subrecipients are within the survey.


For Subrecipients:

The subrecipient questions aim to provide OPA with an overview of the diversity of EHRs and reporting systems used within each grant project. The EHR/EMR questions will need to be completed for every unique EHR/EMR system or other reporting system being used in your grantee’s Title X network.


Survey Completion Date: Please submit your survey by {DATE} 11:59 PM, EDT.

Where to direct questions about the survey: For questions about this survey, please contact the MayaTech Survey Team at [email protected].

Part II. EHR/EMR SYSTEM REVIEW (Grantee and/or sub-recipient)


Please indicate whether you are: ____Grantee (Continue)

___ Subrecipient (Skip to Q1)


For this section, the grantee will report information on the grantee’s EHR/EMR system. Additionally, the grantee will send a link to this section to be filled out by one subrecipient for each different EHR/EMR system utilized. For example, if the grantee has four subrecipients that use two different EHR/EMR systems and the remainder fill out the reports by hand, the grantee would pick three subrecipients to respond to the link provided (one for each of the two different EHR/EMR systems; and one from the group that completes reports by hand).
