The Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) requires all federally funded agencies to develop and
implement an accountability system based on performance
measurement. This regulation applies to grantees receiving funds
from the Dept. of ED’s Office of Innovation and Improvement Arts in
Education - Model Development and Dissemination (AEMDD),
Professional Development for Arts Educators (PDAE), and Arts in
Education National Program (AENP) programs. Each grantee is
required to report on performance and progress towards GPRA
measures as a condition of the grant. Data for GPRA performance
measures are collected through the Annual Performance Report (APR)
completed by grantees. The APR also collects budget information and
data on project-specific performance measures. The forms being
submitted for OMB review are APR templates that expand on the ED
524-B form to gather additional data on performance from Arts in
Education grantees in a streamlined manner. Performance data are
used to help make decisions about continued funding for grantees
and to show overall program progress by aggregating GPRA data
across grantees. GPRA data may be also be used by Congress to
determine future program funding.
This is a new data collection
and there is a program change increase of 3920 annual burden
hours.
