Information Collection Request Title: Sustainability Study of Programs
Funded by OAH in 2010 (Sustainability Study)

Abstract: The Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting approval by OMB on a new
collection. The Sustainability study is a key piece of OAH's broad and
ongoing effort to comprehensively evaluate all of its funding efforts
which consist of: (1) The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPP); the
(2) Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF); and the CDC Communitywide program
funded in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The proposed information request includes the instrument that will
collect data on: (1) Whether and how federally-funded programs have
been sustained; (2) factors affecting program sustainability; (3)
methods and strategies employed by grantees to sustain programs; (4)
support and technical assistance that grantees received related to
sustaining the programs; and (5) key lessons learned based on the
outcomes of these efforts. The data will be analyzed and incorporated
into study deliverables that clearly describe former grantees'
sustainability efforts for all audiences and highlight key challenges,
successes, and lessons learned for future funding and program
implementation.
The data will be used for the study team to identify key factors in
program sustainability, the strategies that either worked or did not
work in sustaining programs over time, and the types of support and
assistance grantees required in order to sustain programs. Collecting
this data is crucial to closing an existing gap in OAH knowledge about
how to support the sustainability efforts of
