collection, the OASH Periodic
Performance Project Report for Grants
and Cooperative Agreements (hereafter
the OASH PPR). The purpose of this
data collection is to gather quantitative
and qualitative information common to
the assessment of recipient performance
on individual grants and cooperative
agreements (collectively, grants)
managed in OASH. OASH will collect
common data elements measuring the
performance of each recipient against
the approved grant project plan,
including progress toward goals and
outcomes as required by 45 CFR
75.342(b)(2).
OASH oversees a broad range of grant
programs within the Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS). The current
active OASH programs with
discretionary grants (with assistance
listing number) include: Public
Awareness Campaigns on Embryo
Adoption (93.007); Research on
Research Integrity (93.085); Advancing
System Improvements for Key Issues in
Women’s Health (93.088); Community
Programs to Improve Minority Health
Grant Programs (93.137); Family
Planning Services (93.217); Family
Planning Personnel Training (93.260);
Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program
(93.297); Public Health Service
Evaluation Funds (93.343); Research,
Monitoring and Outcomes Definitions
for Vaccine Safety (93.344); Minority
HIV/AIDS Fund (93.899); Family
Planning Service Delivery Improvement
Research Grants (93.974); and National
Health Promotion (93.990). OASH
grants span a wide range of project
types, including service, demonstration
project, evaluation, research, training,
and conference projects. Within each
program, the awards are subdivided into
cohorts aligned with the notices of
funding opportunity under which
OASH competed the awards. Currently,
there are 47 cohorts of active awards
across OASH. In any given year, OASH
programs collectively monitor 450–550
active awards with another 200–300
inactive awards awaiting final reports as
a prerequisite to closing the grant.
The collection is needed to enhance
project performance information and
simplify reporting under 45 CFR 75.301.
Each recipient currently must submit a
quarterly Federal Financial Report (FFR
or SF–425)(45 CFR 75.341) and a
periodic Performance Progress Report
(PPR) for each grant (45 CFR
75.342(b)(2). PPR reporting periods in
OASH are scheduled quarterly, semiannually, or annually, depending on the
need determined by the program office
using a narrative format that can vary by
cohort. The PPR schedule is specifically
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
57421
aligned with the quarterly FFRs
whenever possible to create a complete
snapshot of the project’s progress at the
end of the reporting period.
The common elements identified in
the new collection for OASH programs
will standardize the collection of the
required information (45 CFR
75.342(b)(2)) including: (1) a
comparison of the actual
accomplishments to the objectives of the
award for the period; (2) the reasons
why established goals were not met; and
(3) pertinent information, analysis and
explanation of cost overruns or high
unit costs. The common elements
include reporting on publications,
including data sets and other work
products, to facilitate implementation of
OSTP Memorandum Ensuring Free,
Immediate, and Equitable Access
Federally Funded Research (August 25,
2022). The new information collection
will limit the content of the report to
those activities taking place during the
reporting period (i.e., quarterly,
semiannually, or annually). The
information collection is structured to
facilitate program review across
reporting periods. This will allow
OASH to identify and improve program
outcomes, share lessons learned, and
spread the adoption of promising
practices among its grant recipients and
other HHS awarding agencies.
The content of the new collection is
structured for web-based data collection
under 7 headings: Report Header;
Project Progress; Significant Project
Accomplishments; Broader Program
Impacts; Products and Dissemination;
Collaboration and Partnering Activities;
and Project Evaluation Activities.
Information will be prepopulated based
on the login credentials for the user
submitting the report and the specific
grant being reported. Not all grants will
have reportable activities under all
headings (e.g., not all grants have an
evaluation component embedded in the
project). However, most OASH grants
will have reportable information under
most headings. Program offices with
additional reporting programmatic
information collections will eventually
transition collection of any overlapping
data elements to this OASH PPR. During
the transition, OASH will not require
grant recipients to provide the same
information twice.
Likely Respondents: Members and
staff from academia, community
organizations, local/state/federal
government, private sector, and tribal
government and services organizations
including those who serve American
Indian and Alaska Native and/or racial
and ethnic minorities.
