Hi Summer,

I just wanted to make a few comments about the proposed PAIMI PPR for 2007.

Section 5 Interventions on Behalf of Groups of PAIMI-Eligible Individuals.

5.A. Types of Inventions – Intervention is misspelled.

It also seems that the number being captured for potential number of individuals impacted could be quite high and end up being of no consequence. Couldn’t we enter that number by each activity? (Activity 1=10,000 Activity 2=200 Activity 3=500 - I have been presenting mine this way on the PPR because I could not see the benefit of using such a large number that didn’t give you the entire story of whether an activity met the needs of 200 people vs. 10,000.)

Under 5E providing examples – Do you mean to give an example of each outcome or an example of each category of intervention? We have been providing information on each intervention, numbering the activities 1-? and then entering the potential number of individuals impacted by each activity number.

Section 6 Non-client Directed Advocacy Activities

Section 6.C.4. Dissemination Activities – This number is similar to the example above where the number could be so large that it doesn’t give a clear picture of each activity’s outreach effort.

I hope this makes sense to you and if I am misinterpreting these statements please let me know what I should do differently for this next reporting year. Thank you for your time.
