Short Statement: This is a reinstatement, with change (increase) of a previously approved collection. In FY 2013 the Department revised its GPRA measures to better target performance and evaluation measures. The changes reflected in the application document represent an effort to assist applicants with providing data for collection to respond to these new GPRA measures. It will take applicants additional time to review this new guidance, and to develop more amplified evaluation plans. The application also asks new applicants to include project-specific measures in their grant proposal, which is a new requirement.
