Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Routine Customer Feedback” (OMB Control Number: 0990-0379)


Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:

Office of Population Affairs Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA) Satisfaction Survey


PURPOSE:


The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) requests permission to conduct regular assessments of grantees’ satisfaction with the support that OPA routinely offers as part of its regular services to grantees. This includes an episodic survey to assess provision of training and technical assistance. Episodic surveys assess specific training and/or technical assistance activities such as webinars and conference calls between grantees, OPA staff and OPA contractors. Results of these surveys will provide OPA with ongoing information that may be used to improve the quality of future grantee support.



DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:


OPA funds Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) grantees and Family Planning (Title X) grantees. The contractor will contact Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) grantee and Family Planning (Title X) grantees who attended the training and/or technical assistance activity. The universe of organizations to be contacted includes Fiscal Year 2018 TPP Grantees, FY 2019 TPP Grantees, and FY 2020 TPP Grantees (a total of 114 grantee respondents).
