Telephone: 202–205–8496; Email: marc.clark@acf.hh.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The award of eight single source expansion supplement grants to PREIS grantees is required because of the necessary expansion of the original scope of approved activities. In reviewing grantees’ aggressive program and evaluation plans, combined with recruitment efforts to date, FYSB has determined that that these eight grantees would be required to increase the number of program participants and/or increase data collection efforts. Increased funding will help the grantees’ programs increase recruitment and retention strategies for program participants that will allow grantees to obtain the minimal statistical power required to report significant outcome data. Outcome data will determine the effectiveness of the implemented pregnancy prevention models used in the program. Thus, the increased number of program participants supports the evaluation requirements outlined in the FOA and the Affordable Care Act. Additionally, grantees are required to report on performance measures that were specifically defined by FYSB. The data collection will require additional grantee staff time and other resources to compile and report on performance indicators. Performance indicators are based upon the performance measures established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to include: (a) The number of youth served and hours of service delivery; (b) fidelity to the program model or adaptation of the program model for the target population; (c) community partnerships and competence in working with the target population; and (d) reported gains TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:01 Jun 19, 2013 Jkt 229001 in knowledge and intentions, and changes in self-reported behaviors of participants.
