Abstract: This request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance for a new information collection, Performance and Evaluation Measurement System (PEMS), to collect data from Office of Minority Health (OMH) grant recipients. This data is used to monitor performance and promote evaluation of intervention effectiveness throughout the course of a funding period/cycle to ‘grow the science’ regarding ‘what works’ in minority health improvement and health disparities reduction. This information collection includes two new web-based data collection tools: OMH Performance Progress Report and Disparity Impact Statement. Recipients will submit responses for these tools through GrantSolutions, a web-based platform. GrantSolutions is password protected and access is limited to Authorized HHS Officials, and Grantee Principal Investigators and Project Directors.
