Abstract: The AmeriCorps VISTA Concept Paper and application are used by AmeriCorps to determine the suitability of applicants to receive VISTA resources, and to make approval decisions based on the information presented. The AmeriCorps VISTA Project Progress Report (project-specific performance measurement) and the VISTA Progress Report Supplement (national performance metrics) are used by AmeriCorps to monitor ongoing performance of sponsoring organizations and to collect key national performance data. The revisions streamline content, ensure use of plain English with use of the second person, separate systems instructions from content explanations, update terminology, and divide narrative fields into clearer subsections to organize content.
