Title: Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance
Measures and Adult Preparation Subjects (PMAPS) Studies--Data
Collection Related to the Performance Measures Study.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Data Analysis, Research, and Evaluation
(HHS/ACF/ACYF/ODARE) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (HHS/ACF/
ACYF/FYSB) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
propose a data collection activity as part of the Personal
Responsibility Education Program (PREP) Performance Measures and Adult
Preparation Subjects (PMAPS) Studies. The goals of the PMAPS studies
are to collect, analyze, and report on performance measure data for
PREP programs and to develop and test Adult Preparation Subjects (APS)
conceptual models.
The PMAPS studies consist of two components: The ``Performance
Measures Study,'' and the ``Adult Preparation Subjects Study.'' This
notice is specific to data collection activities for the Performance
Measures Study only. The Performance Measures Study component includes
collection and analysis of performance measure data from State PREP
(SPREP), Tribal PREP (TPREP), Competitive PREP (CPREP), and Personal
Responsibility Education Innovative Strategies (PREIS) grantees. Data
will be used to determine if PREP and PREIS grantees are meeting
performance benchmarks related to the program's mission and priorities.
Respondents: Performance measurement data collection instruments
will be administered to individuals representing SPREP, TPREP, CPREP,
and PREIS grantees, their subawardees, and program participants.
