collection of performance measures from grantees for the Community-
Centered Healthy Marriage, Pathways to Responsible Fatherhood and 
Community-Centered Responsible Fatherhood Ex-Prisoner Reentry 
discretionary grant programs. The performance measure data obtained 
from the grantees will be used by OFA to report on the overall 
performance of these grant programs.
    Data will be collected from all 60 Community-Centered Healthy 
Marriage, 54 Pathways to Responsible Fatherhood and 5 Community-
Centered Responsible Fatherhood Ex-Prisoner Reentry grantees in the OFA 
programs. Grantees will report on program and participant outcomes in 
such areas as participants' improvement in knowledge skills, attitudes, 
and behaviors related to healthy marriage and responsible fatherhood. 
Grantees will be asked to input data for selected outcomes for 
activities funded under the grants. Grantees will extract data from 
program records and will report the data twice yearly through an on-
line data collection tool. Training and assistance will be provided to 
grantees to support this data collection process.
    Respondents: Office of Family Assistance Funded Community-Centered
