Project Safe Neighborhoods: Community Engagement and Media Outreach Technical Assistance Program, FY 2004

Performance Measures

To ensure compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), Public Law 103-62, grantees are required to collect and report data that measure the program's results. All applicants are required to address the outcome and process measures listed below. In addition to incorporating this information into their submission's narrative, applicants are required to address the type of information they will collect, who will collect it, the methods they will use, and how they will report the information. Grantees are also expected to provide interim data in their annual progress reports and to submit the results of their project as part of their final progress report.

Performance will be measured by the following outcomes:

• Requests for services, including the number, frequency, and types of services requested and the recipients of the services.

• Responses to requests, including the percentage of requests filled, average response time, type of services provided, duration of service delivery, number of participants, and any products or deliverables.

• Number of training and technical assistance recipients who have successfully defined and implemented a comprehensive strategy to engage the community in the local PSN efforts.

• Number of training and technical assistance recipients who have developed and implemented a media strategy that is coordinated with the district's gun violence reduction and community engagement initiative.
