EDA’s methods for performance
measurement and program evaluation
necessary in order to ensure
transparency, accountability, and
effectiveness of EDA investments. The
recently passed Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018 (Pub. L. 115–435) further
emphasizes the importance of updating
existing methodologies for performance
measurement and program evaluation to
align with evolving best practices.
EDA proposes revising Forms ED–
916, ED–917, and ED–918, which are
currently used to collect limited
performance information on sponsored
activities and resulting outcomes from
the grantees receiving assistance under
just three of EDA’s non-infrastructure
programs: Partnership Planning,
University Center, and the Trade and
Adjustment Assistance for Firms,
respectively. The revised Forms ED–
916, ED–917, and ED–918 would
instead comprehensively cover all of
EDA’s non-infrastructure programs:
Economic Adjustment Assistance (noninfrastructure projects), including new
Revolving Loan Funds; Planning,
including Partnership Planning; Local
Technical Assistance, including
University Centers; Build to Scale
(formerly Regional Innovation
Strategies); Research and National
Technical Assistance; and Trade
Adjustment Assistance for Firms. The
data on program-sponsored activities
and associated outcomes will be
collected on semi-annual and annual
bases, respectively.
The revised data collection
instruments were developed through
cooperative agreements with a number
of leading research institutions, most
notably SRI International. The
methodology and applications for the
instruments are described in the
Innovative Metrics for Economic
Development report and Toolkit for
Economic Development Practitioners
that are available on EDA’s website at
www.eda.gov/performance/.
EDA does not propose to revise the
remaining fourth form under this
information collection, Form ED–915,
which is used to collect information on
infrastructure and existing revolving
loan fund (RLF) projects funded through
awards from EDA’s Public works and
Economic Adjustment Assistance
programs. Form ED–915 would instead
be extended without change; however,
EDA plans to revise Form ED–915 in the
future to update the information
collected on infrastructure projects.
Note that all RLF awards made after the
implementation of the revised Forms
ED–916, ED–917, and ED–918 will be
required to report performance
