Opportunity HHS-2008-AOA-CONT-PO: The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) requires Federal agencies to use performance measurement, particularly outcome measurement, to improve the performance of Federal programs. Further, the Office of Management and Budget has introduced the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART), which they use to evaluate the performance of Federal programs. The PART places additional emphasis on assessing program performance through outcome measurement. Results from earlier POMP projects have been instrumental in improving AoA's PART scores.Building on the Results of Earlier POMP DemonstrationsOver the past eight years, AoA has sponsored the Performance Outcome Measurement Project for Older Americans Act (OAA), Title III programs. This project with State Units on Aging (SUAs) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) has produced a core set of performance measurement instruments. The instruments have been developed to obtain consumer-reported outcomes and quality assessment for critical OAA services. The instruments also measure special needs characteristics of the people who receive services such as physical and social functioning. Other measurement tools address the adequacy and benefit of services that support family caregivers. Performance measurement tools developed under POMP can be located at www.grpa.net. Consumer assessment surveys have enabled AoA and our State and AAA partners to demonstrate that services provided by the National Aging Services Network:- Are highly rated by recipients- Are effectively targeted to vulnerable individuals and those who need services- Provide assistance to individuals and caregivers that is instrumental in allowing older persons to maintain their independence and avoid premature nursing home placement.In FY 2004, AoA determined that while consumer assessment will continue to be an important component of program performance measurement, it was time for the POMP project to begin the process of evolving into a more sophisticated performance measurement system to assess program impacts in relation to costs. In FY 2004, the first Advanced POMP competition occurred. The first year of Advanced POMP was a planning year. Grantees developed a statement of the project's overarching goals as follows:Goal 1: Demonstrate Cost Savings or Cost Avoidance Attributed to Older Americans Act (OAA) ProgramsGoal 2: Demonstrate Efficiency of OAA programs Goal 3: Demonstrate Effectiveness of OAA programsGrantees then researched various methodologies toward achievement of these goals. In the second and third years of Advanced POMP, grantees defined their specific projects; defined their data source development strategies, constructed their data bases or started data collection and conducted some data analysis. Current Advanced POMP projects are researching the following topics:The purpose of this competition is to solicit applications for the enhancement or expansion of Advanced POMP consistent with the original project goals stated above. For example, grantees may choose to enhance their current projects by incorporating additional data elements into their modeling data sets; expanding the time frame for longitudinal data collection; or accessing related data sources and incorporating the additional data into their analysis. Grantees may expand their current projects by proposing new performance impact analysis consistent with the Advanced POMP goals that will complement the current projects. Grantees should develop a two year work plan that incorporates all their Advanced POMP analytical work and culminates with detailed written reports suitable for posting on www.gpra.net. Technical SupportAoA will contract with a national research corporation to support Advanced POMP. Technical support available will include statistical modeling, data analysis, review of research protocols, and assistance in technical writing.
