Congress directed HHS to provide information on activities and programs supported with resources from the Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF) to a public website http://www.hhs.gov/open/recordsandreports/prevention/index.html. No cash reports are required. Reporting provides continuous program monitoring and identifies successes and challenges that awardees encounter throughout the project period.

Awardees must submit an Annual Performance Report via www.grants.gov 120 days before the end of each budget period. The report must not exceed 45 pages excluding administrative reporting; attachments are not allowed, but Web links are allowed. This report must include the following: performance measures, evaluation results, work plan, successes, challenges, CDC program support needs, and administrative reporting. The annual FFR form (SF-425) is required and must be submitted through eRA Commons within 90 days after each budget period ends. The report must include only those funds authorized and disbursed during the timeframe covered by the report. The final report must indicate the exact balance of unobligated funds, and may not reflect any unliquidated obligations. The final FFR expenditure data and the Payment Management System’s (PMS) cash transaction data must correspond; no discrepancies between the data sets are permitted. Failure to submit the required information by the due date may affect adversely the future funding of the project. If the information cannot be provided by the due date, awardees are required to submit a letter of explanation and include the date by which the information will be provided. Awardees should have already provided (unless supplemental funding is awarded in other years that would require this as new)a more detailed evaluation and performance measurement plan within the first six months of this project. This more detailed plan must be developed by awardees as part of first-year project activities, with support from CDC, must build on the elements stated in the initial plan, and must be no more than 25 pages. Awardees are required to submit performance measures annually as a minimum, and may require reporting more frequently. Performance measure reporting is limited to data collection. When funding was awarded initially, CDC program specifiedrequired reporting frequency, data fields, and format.
