Abstract:
IMLS requests an approval of a new three year clearance for the agency’s information collection requests for the State Reporting System for the Grants to States Program under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). The SPR currently gathers descriptive information from SLAAs about the project inputs (e.g., budget categories), activities, outputs and narrative fields for describing other results. These administrative data are used for IMLS program planning, GPRA/PAR and other reporting with the Administration and Congress. The requested addition of performance measure questions introduce reporting on a limited set of standardized beneficiary outcomes aligned with formula grant requirements. This reporting will allow IMLS and its State partners to use the outcome data to better understand the effectiveness of the funded projects, to improve accountability, and to identify promising practices based on outcome data for broader dissemination across the library sector.
