State Program Reporting
Background

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 and the District of Columbia;
• The Territories (Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands); and
• The Freely Associated States (Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau, and the
Republic of the Marshall Islands).
Each year, over 2,500 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).

How are the IMLS awards to States evaluated?

Each SLAA must submit a plan that details library services goals for a five-year period. (20 U.S.C
9143). SLAAs must also conduct a five-year evaluation of library services based on that plan. Id.
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 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.
For approximately ten years, 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 is being 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
1

year award (pilots first, then all states); and finally the incorporation of the performance
measurement reporting. Currently, only Phases I and II have been completed and are reflected
in this documentation. When complete, it will highlight evidence-based best practices. The
Measuring Success initiative is driving the development of a new data reporting and analysis
system (database) that will replace the older State Program Report system. Submissions to the
SPR will encompass the final performance report, the final financial report, and eventually, the
interim financial report for each SLAA’s two year grant.
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 is guided by a new data reporting and collection framework that
balances the need for descriptive information to monitor compliance with grant conditions with
the need for data on performance measures to assess the impact of the public funds. When we
can gather project data more consistently, we will be better able to compare projects within
and across States and demonstrate the impact of public funds on library services. States will
also be able to share information about their projects both within the library community and
with the public at large.
State Program Report Framework for Projects:

2

Concepts

The new SPR system is broken into eight 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”).
Projects

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
3

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

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:
o Institutional Capacity;
o Information Access;
o Lifelong Learning;
o Human Services;
o Employment and Economic Development; and
o 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.)
4

o They may be further described by the assignment of up to two associated
subjects.
Activities

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.

Appendix 3: State Program Report Data Elements
Reporting in the State Program Report System

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
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 provides new functional features for SLAAs. It enables SLAAs to manage other system-required information by providing data elements about:

Abstract

Free text entry (up to
1000 characters)

This is a brief description of
the project’s purpose,
activities, and target
beneficiaries, plus any highlevel 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.

Required for
submission.

Add Project -> General
Information

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.

Appendix 3: State Program Report Data Elements

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

11.0 Procurement Information

Note: 2 CFR part 200 covers property and procurement standards (see, for example, 2 CFR sections 200.310 through 326). Certain of these standards apply specifically to States
(e.g., 2 CFR 200.313(b)). In some of the examples below, more units were acquired than were actually used for the project. In such instances, the excess (i.e., unused) units (if
equipment) should generally not be charged to the IMLS award nor to the Match, or should otherwise be handled in accordance with 2 CFR part 200 and applicable law. If such
excess units are supplies, they should be disposed of in accordance with the applicable grant requirements (e.g., 2 CFR 200.314). Questions concerning any particular excess
acquisition should be addressed to IMLS.
