What is PERT?
PERT stands for Project Evaluation and Reporting Tool. In addition to the evaluation plan for the project, PHAC has introduced the PERT, a new tool that must be completed on an annual basis. PERT is designed to help monitor and document the effectiveness of all community-based programs funded by PHAC. This tool also helps to assess the impact of these programs on the health of Canadians and their communities. Applicants must be willing to complete the PERT and staff and resources should be allocated to the collection and tracking of related information (an additional 2% of the overall evaluation cost).
