Is it mandatory to include in the application baseline data for the three performance measures?
For Continuation applicants – Yes. Your data will be used for testing HRSA’s electronic diary system. The provisional data reported by continuation applicants for all nine elements of the three performance measures may be an educated guess if the actual data is not available at the time of submission. Multiple opportunities will be available to go back and update the initial data submitted. For New State Partnership applicant – No. Baseline data will be entered at a later date when the continuation application is submitted. For both types of proposals, continuation as well as new, your state/territory will be expected to report baseline data for all nine elements of the performance measures and every year thereafter.
