Measuring Performance: A Guidance Document for Promise Neighborhoods on Collecting Data and Reporting Results: FY 2013 Edition

Author: Urban Institute | Year of Publication: 2013

The information in this guidance document is applicable to grantees awarded in Fiscal Year 2016 or earlier. Grantees awarded in Fiscal Year 2017 or later should refer to the updated guidance document.

This guidance document is designed to provide clarity on the U.S. Department of Education’s required Government Performance and Results Act indicators (guidance for grantees awarded in 2016 or earlier). Promise Neighborhoods implementation grantees must report on these measures as one of the requirements of their federal funding. This document also recommends data collection strategies, sources, and methods for the Promise Neighborhoods community at large, including the collection and tracking of demographic, family, and service delivery characteristics. These recommendations, while not formal requirements, are intended to guide Promise Neighborhoods on the best ways to collect information they can use to improve the quality of their programs and services, evaluate the success of their initiatives, and most importantly, achieve better results.
