Abstract: 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 AEMDD,
PDAE, and 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.
