Applicant Evaluation and Performance Measurement Plan. Applicants must provide an evaluation and performance measurement plan that demonstrates how the recipient will fulfill the requirements described in the CDC Evaluation and Performance Measurement and Project Description sections of this NOFO. At a minimum, the plan must describe: • How applicant will collect the performance measures, respond to the evaluation questions, and use evaluation findings for continuous program quality improvement. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA): Applicants are advised that any activities involving information collections (e.g., surveys, questionnaires, applications, audits, data requests, reporting, recordkeeping and disclosure requirements) from 10 or more individuals or non-Federal entities, including State and local governmental agencies, and funded or sponsored by the Federal Government are subject to review and approval by the Office of Management and Budget. For further information about CDC’s requirements under PRA see xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/ ocio/policy/collection/. • How key program partners will participate in the evaluation and performance measurement planning processes. • Available data sources, feasibility of collecting appropriate evaluation and performance data, data management plan (DMP), and other relevant data information (e.g., performance measures proposed by the applicant). Where the applicant chooses to, or is expected to, take on specific evaluation studies, they should be directed to: • Describe the type of evaluations (i.e., process, outcome, or both). • Describe key evaluation questions to be addressed by these evaluations. • Describe other information (e.g., measures, data sources). Recipients will be required to submit a more detailed Evaluation and Performance Measurement plan (including the DMP elements) within the first 6 months of award, as described in the Reporting Section of this NOFO.
Applicant Evaluation and Performance Measurement Plan. At the time of application, awardees must include in their project narrative a brief description of how they plan to fulfill the requirements described in the ASPR-CDC Evaluation and Performance Measurement and Project Description sections of this FOA. Awardees also must briefly outline the scope of work, planned activities, and intended outcomes of work performed via subawardee contracts, per domain. This document should be approved by the local jurisdictions whose work it represents. Awardees are required to submit, within the first six months of award, a brief evaluation and performance measurement plan, including a DMP, as described in the Reporting section of this FOA. ASPR and CDC do not require awardees to follow a specific evaluation template and will provide more specific guidance prior to the deadline. ASPR and CDC recommend that awardees develop a five-year evaluation plan that will evaluate interim progress including subawardee and local monitoring annually.
