## TRAINING PROGRAM PERFORMANCE MEASURES

**Laura Kavanagh, Chief, Training Branch**
**Audrey Koertvelyessy, Project Officer**
**April 23, 2008**

## Why do we have PMs?

- Required by GPRA (Statutory Requirement)
- Important during a PART review (OMB Requirement)
- Provides data to justify programs
- Important to demonstrate successes
- Important to highlight where needs exist

## Definition of Performance Measure

- “The on-going monitoring and reporting of program performance or accomplishments in relation to pre-established goals”  (GAO - 2005)

- “An indicator, statistics, or metric used  to gauge program performance”  (GPRA and OMB)

## What are the criteria for PMs?

- Relevant to major MCHB priorities, programs & dollars.
- Important and understandable to MCH partners, policymakers, and the public.
- Logical link can be made from the measure & the desired outcome.

## Criteria Continued

- Measurable change detectable within 5 years.
- Potential for change in the measure should be realistic.
- Prevention focused.

## Why are we looking at the PMs at this time?

- OMB approves the PMs for 3 years
- Current OMB approval ends on March 31, 2009
- OMB approval is a lengthy process requiring many layers of approval

## What is the Process for Grantee input?

**Workgroups will be formed**
**1 in-person meeting planned for this summer**
**Work will largely be done via conference calls, GO TO MEETING, other technology available to facilitate work**
**Workgroup will consist of internal and external members**
**Identify workgroup members by end of June**

## What is the Timeline?

- Completion of Review and Revisions by Fall, 2008
- Entire Package ready for OMB by next spring, 2009.

## What other sources will be used?

- Output from all the 4 Workgroups, e.g. Diversity, Interdisciplinary, etc.
- Input from all specific grantee groups, e.g. PPCs
- Input from experts in area of PMs
- Input from experts in EHB

## How much change can we expect?

- No requirements as to limits of # of PMs
- Each Program should have at least one specific PPM
- The required PMs will be reviewed by the entire MCHB
- Some new PMs may be developed

## What are the Required PMs?

- All Long Term Interdisciplinary Programs Report on these PMs
- PM 07 The degree to which MCHB supported programs ensures **family participation** in program and policy activities.
