The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approved the Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood
(HMRF) Performance Measures and Additional Data Collection in April
2021. This information collection package supports the collection
and reporting of performance measures by the 2020 cohort of
Administration for Children and Families (ACF)-funded HMRF grantees
and includes the quarterly performance progress report (QPR) and
the semi-annual performance progress report (PPR) that grantees are
required to submit to ACF. After OMB provided approval in April
2021, ACF requested modifications to the QPRs and PPRs. The reports
provide aggregate data on grantees’ programmatic activities and
outcomes for the reporting period; they are used by grantees to
self-monitor their performance and by ACF’s Office of Family
Assistance (OFA) to monitor and manage the HMRF grants. Separate
versions of the QPR and PPR are tailored to HM and RF grantees. The
QPRs and PPRs are auto-generated by the Information, Family
Outcomes, Reporting, and Management (nFORM 2.0) system that ACF
requires grantees to use for HMRF data collection and reporting.
Through initial reporting, we have identified minor changes that
would be helpful to grantees when completing reports and will
improve data quality. We have also made updates to reflect changes
in staff contact information. None of the proposed changes affect
respondent burden and the purpose and use of the information
collection remains the same.
