2. Electronic Data Collection on Program Performance
The Health Resources and Services Administration has modified its reporting requirements for MIECHV grants to include national performance measures that were developed in accordance with the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Public Law 103-62). This Act requires the establishment of measurable goals for federal programs that can be reported as part of the budgetary
process, thus linking funding decisions with performance. MCHB program offices select the program specific forms, including performance measures, which must be completed by grantees/awardees. The program specific forms selected by the program offices depend upon the type and focus of the program. The program specific forms include: Financial forms, Demographic Data forms, Performance Measures, and Additional Data Elements.
The listing of MCHB administrative forms and performance measures for this program can be found at: https://perfdata.hrsa.gov/mchb/DgisApp/FormAssignmentList/X02_1.html
NOTE: The performance measures and data collection information is for your PLANNING USE ONLY. These forms are not to be included as part of this progress report. However, this information will be due to HRSA within 120 days after the Notice of Grant Award.
