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 school’s
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.
