Subject: NonSubstantive Change Request – Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services Formula Grantees Performance Progress Report (PPR) Listening Sessions Formative Data Collections for Program Support (OMB #0970-0531)
This memo requests approval of nonsubstantive changes to the approved information collection, Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services Formula Grantees Performance Progress Report (PPR) Listening Sessions Formative Data Collections for Program Support (OMB #0970-0531).
Background
In December 2024, OMB approved discussion guides for the Office of Family Violence Prevention and Services (OFVPS) to gather feedback from formula grantees on their Performance Progress Reports (PPR). Feedback from three formula grantee groups, including States/Territories, Coalitions, and Tribes and Tribal Organizations will be used by MITRE, as an operator of the Health Federally Funded Research and Development Center (Health FFRDC), to provide recommendations and draft proposed updates to PPRs for OFVPS grantees. The current PPRs have been in use for more than seven years, thus integration of updated grantee feedback will serve to reflect the full value of their services and the populations they serve.
Since approval, OFVPS and MITRE have identified minor updates to improve the guides and be responsive to priorities of the new Administration. MITRE, as an operator of the Health Federally Funded Research and Development Center (Health FFRDC), is tasked with conducting listening sessions with three formula grantee groups, including States/Territories, Coalitions, and Tribes and Tribal Organizations. After the listening session feedback is collected, MITRE is tasked with providing recommendations based on feedback from the listening sessions and drafting updated PPRs for OFVPS grantees.
Overview of Requested Changes
The Listening Sessions have been updated to remove references to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, in accordance with recent Executive Orders, as well as SPD15 data. Other than these minor adjustments, no significant changes have been made.
Time Sensitivities
A response is requested as soon as possible.
