In order to measure the effectiveness of federal grant programs, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) requires grantees to report on specific performance measures related to their grant funded activities. The measures are part of the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA). Additional information on GPRA can be found on the web sites of HRSA and the Office of Management and Budget.
