The Grants to States program is the largest source of Federal funding support for library services in the U.S. Using a population based formula, more than $150 million is distributed among the State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) every year. SLAAs are official agencies charged by law with the extension and development of library services, and they are located in:
Each of the 50 States of the United States, and the District of Columbia;
The Territories (the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands); and
The Freely Associated States (the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau).
Each year, over 1,500 Grants to States projects support the purposes and priorities outlined in the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). (See 20 U.S.C. 9121 et seq.) SLAAs may use the funds to support statewide initiatives and services, and they may also distribute the funds through competitive subawards (subgrants or cooperative agreements) to public, academic, research, school, or special libraries or library consortia (for-profit and Federal libraries are not eligible).
Each SLAA must submit a plan that details library services goals for a five-year period. (20 U.S.C 9134). SLAAs must also conduct a five-year evaluation of library services based on that plan. These plans and evaluations are the foundation for improving practice and informing policy. Each SLAA receives IMLS funding to support the five year period through a series of overlapping, two year grant awards. Each SLAA must file interim and final financial reports, as well as final performance reports for each of these two year grants. Since 2002, the final performance reporting has been accomplished through IMLS’ State Program Reporting (SPR) system. The basis for this reporting in this database was narrative in nature and when combined with the final financial reports, provided a solid picture of how an SLAA spent its two year award. Unfortunately, the narrative aspect did not allow for easy analysis, comparison, or evaluation across States and their initiatives.
To improve how we measure the impact of the Federal investment in the Grants to States program, IMLS and SLAAs have been partnering on a comprehensive planning and evaluation initiative called “Measuring Success.” This multi-year effort is fundamentally shifting the way in which Grants to States final report information is gathered and shared, and it is improving program accountability, reporting, evaluation, and assessment. The new SPR has been developed in phases, in concert with a small group of SLAAs acting as pilots for each phase. Roughly, these phases correspond to: framework and question development; descriptive reporting for the two year award (pilots first, then all states); and finally the incorporation of the performance measurement reporting. Currently, all phases have been rolled out and are reflected in this documentation. The Measuring Success initiative has driven the development of a new data reporting and analysis system (database) that replaces the older State Program Report system. Submissions to the SPR encompass the final performance report, the final financial report, and the interim financial report for each SLAA’s two year award.
Through the Measuring Success initiative, we identified features needed for the new SPR system. The system needs to:
be flexible and provide easy-to-use tools;
make the reporting process more consistent so that comparisons and analyses are simplified;
strengthen the ability to assess these efforts; and
promote sharing of promising practices.
The new SPR development was guided by a new data reporting and collection framework that balances the need for descriptive information to monitor compliance with award conditions with the need for data on performance measures to assess the impact of the public funds. By gathering project data more consistently, we are better able to compare projects within and across states and demonstrate the impact of public funds on library services. States are also able to share information about their projects both within the library community and with the public at large.
State Program Report Framework for Projects:
The new SPR system is broken into reporting sections (articulated below in State Program Report Data Elements), but the heart of an SLAA’s report is in the Project Reporting. As shown in the framework graphic above, an SLAA expends its annual LSTA Award through one or more Projects. Projects are tied to an Intent (intended outcome) and are composed of a set of Activities carried out to achieve the intended outcome. Activities are associated with particular Modes (controlled vocabulary characteristics of an activity) and Formats (controlled vocabulary characteristics of a Mode) that relate to “how” an Activity is carried out. Other components of an Activity provide further details we need to evaluate Projects: Quantity (“how much” or “how many”), Partner, Beneficiaries (“who”) and Locale (“where”).
Project Reporting
Projects are the vehicles for organizing activities that support a State’s objective or intended outcome. Within the SPR framework, “intended outcomes” are tracked and linked to Projects via Focal Areas and Intents, as well as within Project Activities. A large portion of the Project reporting is accomplished through controlled vocabulary and controlled responses (binary response or fixed choice) data elements. This allows SLAAs to properly identify and classify projects for consistency of reporting across SLAAs and their subrecipients. Properly identified projects are key to aggregating comparable data that show the impact of IMLS Grants to States funds. (See Background, p. 1.)
What is a Project?
A Project is a set of discrete and interdependent activities carried out to achieve an intended outcome.
It contains allocable resources (dollars spent, people responsible for accomplishing tasks, venue or service location(s), and/or time spent).
It is associated with a specific Intent (intended outcome or performance goal) to allow for meaningful, standardized recording and analysis purposes.
It may be conducted as a State Effort (statewide initiative) or as a Subaward.
What is a State Effort?
A State Effort or Statewide project has the entire State’s population as potential beneficiaries rather than a specific, and smaller, target audience. State Efforts are usually administered by the SLAA, such as interlibrary loans, summer reading programs, electronic databases, or technology that facilitates local computer use.
Are State Efforts reported as Projects?
Depending on the scope of the State Effort, it may be reported as one Project or as multiple Projects. Generally speaking, a State Effort that supports a single Intent will be reported as one Project, such as when a State Effort supports resource sharing that includes books by mail, cataloging, and circulation. In certain circumstances, State Efforts may be reported as multiple Projects, such as when a State Effort supports a statewide literacy initiative that includes summer reading, adult conversation circles, and community read events. See Appendix 4: Project Examples.
What is a Subaward?
A Subaward is an award provided by a pass-through entity (SLAA) to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to carry out part of a Federal (LSTA) award. (See also, 2 CFR 200.92).
Are Subawards reported as Projects?
In most cases, a Subaward will be reported as one Project. In certain circumstances, a Subaward may be reported as multiple Projects, such as when a Subaward to a regional library system has multiple and disparate intents. Multiple Subawards may also be reported as a single Project, such as when Subawards of $250 are made to 40 libraries to purchase early learning materials. For additional information, see Appendix 4: Project Examples.
Focal Areas and Intents are broad conceptual categories used to show how Projects are aligned with priorities and purposes of the IMLS Grants to States (and LSTA) program. Focal Areas and Intents use controlled vocabulary to allow for meaningful reporting, evaluation, comparison, and assessment of States’ initiatives. The six Focal Areas below were identified by State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs), and they represent the foundation by which the reporting structure is organized. In the SPR system, they are further specified by and inferred from Intents, which are the intended outcomes of an action or set of SLAA activities. Intent reporting helps define the “why” of the Grants to States program. For additional information, see Appendix 5: Focal Areas and Intents.
What are Focal Areas?
Focal Areas are overarching conceptual categories around which the Grants to States Program reporting structure is organized. There are six categories:
Institutional Capacity;
Information Access;
Lifelong Learning;
Human Services;
Employment and Economic Development; and
Civic Engagement.
Focal areas are further specified by associated Intents.
What is an Intent?
An Intent is the objective, intended result or outcome of an action or set of Activities.
It is applicable at the Project and Activity recording levels.
There are fourteen specific Intents – tied to the Focal Areas – in the SPR system (See Appendix 5.)
They may be further described by the assignment of up to two associated subjects.
What is an Activity?
An Activity is an action or actions through which the Intent of a project is accomplished.
An Activity accounts for at least 10% of the total amount of resources committed to the project.
An Activity is further specified by Mode and Format.

The SPR submission is the final performance report for the award period of performance on a two-year IMLS award to an SLAA. Reporting in the SPR system is broken down into logical sections and sub-sections based on the framework. The State Program Report has three sections:
Projects
Administrative Project
Financial Status Report (including Interim Federal Financial Report)
Each section contains one or more sub-sections; each sub-section contains one or more data elements (question and response). SLAAs are required to complete all the relevant data elements.
The SPR system enables SLAAs to manage other system-required information by providing data elements about:
Manage Subrecipients
Allows States to add and edit basic information about grantees (either subrecipients or SLAA)
Subaward Information
Records information about the State's LSTA subaward program applications and awards
State Goals
Records State Goals from the State’s required Five-Year Plan
State Information
Administrative and Contact Information related to the Annual State Program Report
Subrecipient Access
Allows States to provide limited Project-level access to subrecipients to complete reports for their unique Project
User Information
Provides basic information and access control information available to individual users

Abstract |
Free text entry (up to 1000 characters) |
This is a brief description of the project’s purpose, activities, and target beneficiaries, plus any high-level results that are appropriate to highlight. Ideally, it should stand on its own as a narrative summary of the project. |
Write for a general audience by avoiding jargon, acronyms, and abbreviations. Also avoid highly technical project details, numerical lists of project goals, and bullets. If possible, state the “who, what, and why” of the project in the first sentence or two. High-level results can be included, but specific outcomes are more appropriate to section I.4 Outcomes. Ideal length is 90-160 words.
Example:
ABC Express provided early literacy programming to low-income families with children on preschool waiting lists. The project focused on areas such as digital literacy and socialization, to help with reading readiness, emergent literacy, and basic technology skills. Spanish-speaking librarians led weekly discussions with parents and guardians around the topic of early literacy skills. Through these sessions, caregivers learned about concepts and practiced simple activities that they could apply in the home environment. Meanwhile, the children participated in hands-on reading readiness activities that incorporated computers and handheld devices.
Through its Find It Now program, the State library provided statewide access to electronic resources and trained librarians in using the databases for research. IMLS award funds supported a variety of resources including full-text articles, abstracts, electronic versions of reference books, and other formats that allow academic, school and public libraries to offer consistent, quality materials to their patrons. By subscribing to these resources at the State level, the project represented significant cost efficiencies. It also ensured equitable access to quality information resources throughout the State. With something for nearly every information need, this access meant opportunities for the State’s citizens to advance and enhance their lives as workers, students, citizens, family members, and lifelong learners.
Example of what to avoid: Goals of the project were: 1) Provide TJJLS customers with a web based SSO portal; 2) Determine the best TJACK upgrade path; 3) Upgrade TJACK network with Cisco ASA 5520 Firewall, Cisco 2821 Internet Router, Cisco Catalyst 2960G LAN Switch, Cisco Catalyst 2960G-8TC Perimeter Switch, Cisco Catalyst 2960G-8TC Internet Switch, Systems Integration Cabling (CAT6/CAT7 Wiring); 4) Incorporate RFID tags and inventory wands. |

This is a brief description of the exemplary project’s innovation, vision, impact on targeted audience, or service to a new population group. |
Example:
This project highlights the library’s excellent track record in outreach projects to various underserved populations. The program was developed not only with staff expertise, but with substantial community input. The library built relationships with individuals, showed sensitivity to audience needs and followed up and changed plans where needed. It also focused on measuring outcomes for participants.
Most libraries have a group of loyal users, however, many have not been engaged beyond traditional Friends activities. With limited resources, this library’s staff created networks through established community groups to solicit input, gain feedback and inform community members about library resources and services. It’s a model that others can replicate. |
