Principles and Audit requirements for
HHS Awards.
Specifically, § 75.342, which requires
grantees to submit an annual
performance report or, for the last year
of a project, a final report that evaluates:
(a) the grantee’s progress in achieving
the objectives in its approved
application, (b) the effectiveness of the
project in meeting the purposes of the
program, and (c) the results of research
and related activities.
Additionally, GPRA requires all
federal agencies to implement
performance measurement systems that
include: (1) a five-year strategic plan, (2)
an annual performance plan, and (3) an
annual performance report. Currently,
NIDILRR has met these requirements
and has established performance
indicators to meet the reporting
requirements. The NIDILRR APR
System currently includes reporting
forms for all 10 of NIDILRR’s grant
programs.
This information collection system
covers 10 grant programs funded or
administered by NIDILRR/ACL, and
each grantee submits its information
using a reporting form that is unique to
the program mechanism under which it
is funded. The 10 forms meet the
reporting requirements for the following
programs:
1. Rehabilitation Research Training
Centers (RRTC)
2. Rehabilitation Engineering Research
Centers (RERC)
3. Field Initiated Research Projects (FIP)
4. Advanced Rehabilitation Research
Training Projects (ARRT)

9. Small Business Innovation Research

10. Research Fellowships Program (RFP)
Reporting forms for all 10 programs
are Web-based.
Data collected through these forms: (a)
facilitate program planning and
management; (b) respond to ACL/HHS
Grants Policy Administration Manual
(GPAM) requirements; and (c) respond
to the reporting requirements of the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62).
NIDILRR/ACL uses the information
gathered annually from these data
collection efforts to provide Congress
with the information mandated in
GPRA, provide OMB information
required for assessment of performance
on GPRA indicators, and support its
evaluation activities. Data collected
from the 10 grant programs will provide
a national description of the research
activities of approximately 313 NIDILRR
grantees. NIDILRR’s GPRA plan must
collect information to meet the
following mandates: (a) implementation
of a comprehensive plan that includes
goals and objectives; (b) measurement of
the program’s progress in meeting its
objectives; and (c) submission of an
annual report on program performance,
including plans for program
improvement, as appropriate. The data
collection system addresses nearly all of
the agency’s GPRA indicators, either
directly or by providing information for
the agency’s other review processes.
This IC collects demographic data
from people receiving programs and
services funded by HHS regulations that
apply to NIDILRR Grant programs under
part 75 of the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles and
Audit requirements for HHS Awards.
ACL will adhere to best practices for
collection of all demographic
information when this information is
collected for the programs listed in
accordance with OMB guidance.
