Instructions
Enter the name of the awarding Federal agency and organizational
element identified in the award document or otherwise instructed by
the agency. The organizational element is a sub-agency within an
awarding Federal agency.
Enter the grant/award number contained in the award document.

Enter the recipient organization's Data Universal Numbering System
(DUNS) number or Central Contract Registry extended DUNS
number.
Enter the recipient organization's Employer Identification Number
(EIN) provided by the Internal Revenue Service.
Enter the ending date of the reporting period. For quarterly, semiannual, and annual reports, the following calendar quarter reporting
period end dates shall be used: 3/31; 6/30; 9/30 and or 12/31. For
final PPRs, the reporting period end date shall be the end date of the
project/grant period. The frequency of required reporting is usually
established in the award document.
Indicate in this column the number or label of the Federal Award
Agency-specified or Program-specific goal(s) that your proposed
service or activity is designed to achieve.
(Awarding Federal agencies may provide guidance on format
and purpose of this number or label. —For example, an agency
may prescribe specific activities, may prescribe how to map
activities to specific goals/objectives or program/priority areas,
or may leave the determination to the recipient).
Indicate I this column the number or label of the Federal Awarding
Agency-specified or Program-specific, if any, your proposed service
or activity promotes.
Provide a general statement of need that provides the rationale for
the proposed service or activity.
Identify the activities or services that you are undertaking in your
work plan, which are crucial to the success of your program. Not
every activity or service yields a direct outcome.
The Benchmark or Output Measure columns ask you to identify units
of measure and the quantity that will be used in measuring the
progress of your services or activities. Units/Quantity asks for
specific interim or final products (call outputs) that you establish for
your program’s services or activities. Use quantifiable output goals,
including timeframes. These should be products or interim products,
which will allow you and the Federal Awarding Agency to monitor
and assess your progress in achieving your program workplan.
Units/Quantity should identify the results associated with the product
or output. These may be numerical measures characterizing the
results of a program activity, service or intervention and are used to
measure performance. These outputs should lead to targets for
achievement of outcomes. Results should be represented by both
the actual # and % of the goal achieved. Report actual result of your
benchmarks. The actual result could be numbers of units
developed/created or beneficiaries assisted. Outputs may be short,
intermediate or long-term.
