What was the purpose of the data collected in the tables on the application?
The data was collected so that the CHGME Payment Program could comply with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), Public Law 103-62. GPRA provides Congress with information on whether and in what respects a program is working well or poorly to support its oversight of Federal agencies and their budgets. Therefore, GPRA requires each Federal agency to prepare an annual performance plan covering each program activity set forth in the budget of the agency. The Department must evaluate all programs for effectiveness, efficiency, and continuous improvement. To measure effectiveness, it must obtain performance information from recipients of HHS funds.
