The school of nursing must keep records of all NFLP loan fund transactions. The NFLP-Annual Performance Report (APR) Financial Data Form is used to monitor grantee performance by collecting information relating to the NFLP loan fund operations and financial activities for a specified reporting period (July 1 through June 30 of the academic year). Participating schools are required to complete and submit the NFLP-APR financial data form semi-annually. The data provided in the form are essential for HRSA to effectively monitor the schoolâs use of NFLP funds in accordance with program guidelines. Approval of the revised NFLP-APR financial data form will facilitate our current effort to determine future awards to the school. The electronic data collection capability will streamline the report submission process, enable an efficient annual performance review process and serve as a data repository to facilitate reporting on the use of funds and analysis of program outcomes.
Burden decreased because the data form will collect less data that is limited to financial data, and will not include nursing degree program data and student enrollee data. Additionally, electronic submission of the NFLP-Annual Performance Report Financial Data Form reduces the burden for participating NFLP schools required to complete the report.
