Abstract: The information that will be collected through this Objective Progress Report (OPR) will be submitted to ANA on a quarterly basis and will enable ANA to better monitor the performance of its grantees and ensure that taxpayers' dollars are being well spent. The standardized format will allow ANA to report quantifiable results across all program areas and flag those grantees that may need additional training and/or technical assistance to successfully implement and complete their ANA-funded projects. The Project Abstract is a form which applicants complete as part of the application for funding which provides ANA with a summary of the proposed project. This information collection request is an extension of OMB #0980-0204. The information contained in the Objective Work Plan (OWP) is used by ANA to determine if an applicant has a solid implementation plan from which to carry out their proposed project. It is a planning and implementation tool which requires grantees to map out their project goals, objectives, activities, resources, and timeframes.

Short Statement: This ICR involves the above three collections. In the past it only involved the Project Abstract and Objective Work Plan. The addition of Objective Progress Report makes three. In the past, ANA grantees have submitted a progress narrative that included little if any quantifiable information and varied anywhere from 1 page summaries to 100 page reports. A standardized Objective Progress Report (OPR) will provide grantees with expectations for their reports and give them consistent reporting parameters. It will also allow ANA to better monitor grantees' progress and aggregate performance indicators across a wide range of projects.
