Performance Measures for Discretionary
Grants.
OMB No. 0915–0298—Revision.
Abstract: The Maternal and Child
Health Bureau’s (MCHB) Discretionary
Grant Information System (DGIS)
electronically captures performance
measure, program, financial, and
abstract data, and products and
publications about these discretionary
grants from the grantees. The data
collected are used by MCHB project
officers to monitor and assess grantee
performance as well as assist in
monitoring and evaluating MCHB’s
programs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
proposes to continue using reporting
requirements for grant programs
administered by MCHB, including
national performance measures as
previously approved by OMB, and in
accordance with the ‘‘Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of
1993’’ (Public Law 103–62). This Act
requires the establishment of
measurable goals for federal programs
that can be reported as part of the
budgetary process, thus linking funding
decisions with performance.
Performance measures for MCHB
discretionary grants were initially
approved in January 2003. Approval
from OMB is being sought to continue
the use of performance measures for
these grants. The revised performance
measures are categorized by population
domains (Adolescent Health, Child
Health, Children with Special Health
Care Needs, Lifecourse/Crosscutting,
Maternal/Women Health, and Perinatal/
Infant Health) consistent with Title V,
with the addition of a Capacity Building
domain, specific to DGIS. There are also
program-specific measures included for
a subset of discretionary grant programs
including the Healthy Start program,
Emergency Medical Services for
Children program, and programs within
the Division of MCH Workforce
Development. Grant programs will be
assigned measures in the domains that
are appropriate for their activities.

Comments were received related to
structure, content, and volume of
performance measures during the 60day public comment period and those
comments were taken into consideration
in the final revision of the DGIS
performance measures and overall DGIS
data collection.
MCHB’s purpose in revising the
performance measures is to better
measure progress toward program goals.
These program goals include alignment
with and support of the Title V Block
Grant, specifically population domains
and National Performance Measures,
where reasonable. Further, the revised
measures will more accurately capture
the scope of services provided through
this grant funding. The overall number
of performance measures has been
reduced from prior DGIS data
collection, and the average number of
performance measures each grantee will
be required to report is reduced as well.
Further, the structure of the data
collection has been revised to better
measure the various models of programs
and the services each funded program
provides. This revision will allow a
more accurate and detailed picture of
the full scope of services provided grant
programs administered by MCHB. The
data collected are also used by MCHB
project officers to monitor and assess
grantee performance as well as assist in
monitoring and evaluating MCHB’s
programs.
Likely Respondents: Discretionary
grant programs administered by the
Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
