The information collected by the
Project Impact Assessment Survey is needed for two main reasons: 1)
to collect crucial information required to report on the
Administration for Native Americans' (ANA) established Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures, and 2) to properly
abide by ANA's congressionally-mandated statute (42 United States
Code 2991 et seq.) found within the Native American Programs Act of
1974, as amended, which states that ANA will evaluate projects
assisted through ANA grant dollars "including evaluations that
describe and measure the impact of such projects, their
effectiveness in achieving stated goals, their impact on related
programs, and their structure and mechanisms for delivery of
services." The information collected with this survey will fulfill
ANA's statutory requirement and will also serve as an important
planning and performance tool for ANA.
