Information Collection Request Title: Sustainability study of
federally-funded programs designed to prevent or delay teen pregnancy
(TPP 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 TPP Sustainability Study is a key piece of OAH's broad
and ongoing effort to comprehensively evaluate all of its teen
pregnancy prevention funding efforts which consist of: (1) The Teen
Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPP); the (2) Pregnancy Assistance Fund
(PAF); and the Communitywide program funded through OAH and the Centers
for Disease Control (CDC).
The proposed information request includes instruments 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 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 current and future
grantees, including the 2015-2020 TPP grantee cohort and the 2013-2016
PAF cohort.
Likely Respondents: Program administrators at 117 grantee
organizations.

agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden, (3) ways
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected, and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology to minimize the information collection
burden.
