Here are two Notice of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs) that promote performance management:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families’ Transitional Living Program NOFO requires grant recipients to collect data demonstrating their ability to meet performance standards established in the program’s authorizing legislation and detailed in regulation. Grant recipients must collect and report these data through a federally sponsored management information system. Among other data elements, the system includes information about client characteristics, length of stay and the type of residence they move to when they leave the program.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families’Personal Responsibility Education Program NOFO requires grant recipients to “collect and report information on program implementation and program outcomes through a common set of performance measures.” Among others, data elements include attendance, reach and dosage provided; and participants’ “characteristics, behaviors, program experiences, and perceptions of effects (through participant entry and exit surveys).”
