Explanation.

The FY 2007 target was not met. OVAE is providing technical assistance to States that did not meet their negotiated performance targets. Additionally, States are obtaining assistance from States who have met their negotiated performance targets. Also, Data Quality Institutes (DQI) were held to provide States with guidance and technical assistance and for states to collaborate. States were given resource materials, websites and contact persons to assistance with their data collection challenges, as well.
