Title: Performance Progress Report 

(PPR). 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The PPR is a set of 

uniform reporting formats that will be 

used for standard reporting on 

performance under grants and 

cooperative agreements issued by the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF) and the Grants Center of 

Excellence (CoE) partners. Performance 

reporting is an integral part of the 

President’s Management Agenda (PMA). 

In addition to allowing for uniformity of 

information collection, these formats 

will support systematic electronic 

collection and submission of 

information. These formats will provide 

interim and final performance progress 

information as required by OMB 

Circulars A–102 and A–110. 

The PPR consists of a cover page and 

six optional forms or formats. The cover 

page contains identifying data elements 

and a section for a performance 

narrative. Use of the cover page is 

required, and programs may only 

require their respondents to submit this 

page and/or attach a performance 

narrative. Alternatively, programs may 

opt to require the cover page and one or 

more of the six optional formats. 

Respondents: ACF, the Grants Center 

of Excellence partners and their 

grantees.
