IMPLEMENTATION PLAN TEMPLATE

The PREIS implementation plan is designed to assist you with program implementation planning during Phase 1 of your grant. An implementation plan is a tool that provides detailed documentation of approaches and strategies that will be used for program implementation. This template can be used as a guide to help you map out or outline the key components of program implementation. Identifying each step in the process ensures your team and your partners have a clear understanding of what the program entails, and how it should be implemented. It can also be used to identify and think through potential challenges and proposed solutions before implementation begins.

• Who are the key partners involved in program implementation? Who are the key persons responsible for each program implementation component?

• What is the program that will be implemented?

• When and how often will the program be implemented?

• Where will program implementation take place?

• What are your anticipated challenges and needs for additional support?

All PREIS implementation plans should be finalized and approved by the end of Phase I. The first completed draft of your implementation plan is due to your Federal Project Officer two months before the end of your Phase I period. Please reserve approximately three to four hours to complete this template. During Phase II, your Federal Project Officer will work with you to document these changes using the table in Appendix A.

THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995

This collection of information is voluntary and will be used to provide the Administration for Children and Families with information on PREP grantees’ implementation and evaluation plans in order to support their adolescent pregnancy prevention work. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 8 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB number and expiration date for this collection are OMB #: 0970-0531, Exp: XX/XX/XXXX. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Jessica Johnson at Jessica.johnson@acf.hhs.gov.

IV. Project Components

Complete the tables below to describe all the components of your PREIS project. For the purpose of this exercise, project components are defined as components that are implemented separately but when combined, comprise the whole project. This includes, but are not limited to, the core intervention and parts of the project that are implemented apart from the core intervention, such as community service, apps, and parent workshops.

Complete the tables that are applicable to your project. Two treatment tables are provided, one for group interventions and one for online/digital interventions. A control/comparison table is for provided for projects that plan to offer activities to the comparison group.

Row A: List each component that will be offered (including any group or individual sessions, case management, social media, service learning, other curricula or services).

Row B: For each component, describe the amount, duration, and intended dosage (e.g., Five 1-hour sessions over 3 weeks for a total of 15 hours of programming).

Row C: Briefly describe the content of each component.

Row D: Describe how the content will be delivered.

Row E: Describe the setting(s) in which the content will be delivered.

	Treatment: Group Intervention
	Component 1	Component 2	Component 3
A: Component (e.g., Classroom lessons, supplemental app, supplemental parent workshops, community service)	Ex: Classroom Lessons	Ex: Parent/Guardian Workshops	Ex: Case Management
B: Amount, duration, intended dosage (e.g., 5 sessions over 3 weeks for a total of 15 hours of programming)
C: Content (e.g., Lessons on healthy relationships, contraceptive use, HIV/STIs, decision making, and setting educational goals)
D: Method of Delivery (e.g., In-person, virtual )
E. Setting(s) (e.g., community centers, clinics, schools)

	Treatment: Online/Digital Intervention
	Component 1	Component 2	Component 3

C: Content (e.g., Lessons on healthy relationships, contraceptive use, HIV/STI, decision making, and setting educational goals)
D: Method of Tracking Dosage & Completion (e.g., Time stamp of lesson duration, submission buttons, completion of interactive activities such as polls, quizzes, option selections)
E. Setting(s) (e.g., implementation or recruitment setting or such as group homes or schools)

V. Fidelity Monitoring

Please describe how you will monitor fidelity for the treatment group activities and, if applicable, the control/comparison group activities. FYSB strongly recommends either formal or informal observations for a minimum of 10% of sessions for each implementation cycle. In the beginning of the study implementation phase, Phase II, PREIS grantees will be expected to conduct either informal, formal, or a combination of both on a more frequent basis than 10% of sessions. The exact frequency of fidelity monitoring observations should be determined with your Federal Project Officer.
