1. Performance Measurement Tool Changes Crosswalk_2025

Background and Justification

An overview of pilot data and responses from rolling out the Performance Measurement tool to all recipients in late 2024 helped us to identify areas of the tool where we could create multiple choice menus with answer options for respondents, to eliminate the need to provide open-ended responses wherever possible. This would reduce the reporting burden for some parts of the tool for the recipient and facilitate more streamlined data analysis with the responses provided.

Some questions were moved and/or added to the latter part of the tool to capture data at a more granular level for drawing more robust conclusions across all projects being implemented. This will increase the reporting burden for this tool by approximately one hour per recipient per year, for a total of 5 annual burden hours per recipient.
