The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993
seeks to shift the focus of government decision making and accountability away
from a preoccupation with the activities that are undertaken—such as grants
dispensed or inspections made—to a focus on the results of those activities,
such as real gains in employability, safety, responsiveness, and program
quality. Under GPRA, agencies are to develop multi-year strategic plans, annual
performance plans, and annual performance reports.
All SAMHSA programs must collect and report performance data. These performance
data are described in the Request for Applications. Programs that provide
direct services to individuals (clients or participants) generally use the
approved GPRA/National Outcome Measure tool for the appropriate Center.
Programs providing other types of services, such as infrastructure development
or technical assistance, generally use different tools/measures.
SAMHSA is in the process of implementing National Outcome Measures for all its
programs. This site will be updated as new tools and information become
available. For further information, contact your government project officer.

Information on the CMHS GPRA Data Collection Tool
The CMHS GPRA Program is currently undergoing significant enhancements that
will make GPRA data collection and reporting easier for our grantees. We expect
to have revised data collection tools ready for use via a Web-based data
collection and reporting system in 2006. Three tools will be available for your
GPRA data collection needs depending on the focus of your program: client
services, technical assistance, and infrastructure development. In some cases,
you may be required to collect data on more than one of these areas. You will
learn more about this new system and our tentative training and implementation
schedules at your initial grantee meeting. If you have any additional questions
or concerns, please feel free to contact your Project Officer.
