The BHW Performance Report for Grants and Cooperative Agreements (PRGCA) is an annual performance and progress report required from each health professions and nursing education grantee that has an approved, funded project with a project period of one year or more. The report is required to determine the extent to which objectives of the project have been met so that a decision regarding continuation funding can be made.

Although the total number of respondents increased, overall burden hours have decreased due to NCHWA scientistsâ responsiveness to stakeholder feedback on the data collection process and ongoing efforts to improve efficiency. Through these efforts to reduce burden, BHW proposes to remove four complex interrelated forms and more than 50 questions that are no longer needed, as well as three additional forms used by single programs, the one year follow-up form from a single grant program, and to remove grant purpose fields on the grant purpose form for programs that have ended. BHW also proposes changes to simplify reporting, increase clarity, and promote consistency across forms, including consolidating four questions into two on INDGEN; replacing the employment intentions question on INDGEN with an employment activities question; repositioning and renumbering 12 training and employment questions on INDGEN and INDGEN-PY; and rewording eleven questions on the PC-9, INDGEN, and INDGEN-PY forms.
Additionally, BHW proposes changes to reflect new legislative or Department of Health and Human Services priorities and to enable longitudinal analysis of program performance. The proposed changes do not increase burden for grantees and include: revising the INDGEN and INDGEN-PY forms to comply with SPD-15; adding a carryforward column on INDGEN to identify records that have been moved from INDGEN-PY; and amending four training and employment questions on INDGEN, INDGEN-PY, and EXP-1 to support analysis of longitudinal program performance. BHW also proposes adding a new summary section to the progress reports for use at project closeout to improve reporting and reduce follow-up needed to collect important program outcomes.
