How should grantees use the required NIMS courses to meet the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measure established for this program?
The GPRA measure for the FY 2010 REMS grant program is: The average number of NIMS course completions by key personnel at the start of the grant compared to the average number of NIMS course completions by key personnel at the end of the grant. To respond to this measure, REMS grantees will need to establish a baseline of key personnel in the district to be trained on NIMS courses and the total number of NIMS course completions that each of those key personnel have completed at the start of the grant. Then, for the outcome, grantees would need to identify the number of course completions by those same key personnel at the end of the grant and calculate the increase. The target for this GPRA measure is that each grantee will achieve an average increase of two course completions by the end of the grant. For example: Baseline: At the baseline, a grantee identifies five key personnel.
