## FPR 12-Week Timeline

## FPR 0-3 Month Progress

- Identified sources that address PKEMRA requirements
- Developed matrix mapping each available source across all reporting requirements
- Most sources generate *output – *vice* outcome – *data and metrics
- Included narrative details of specific outcomes when possible

- Analyzed data from sources to clearly and consistently fulfill the reporting requirement(s) described in the PKEMRA legislation
- Findings from subsequent analyses were presented in an annotated briefing format
- Annotated briefing has been revised on a weekly basis to reflect                   the most current data available, as well as accommodate additional      analyses

## FPR 3-6 Month Progress

- Annotated FPR Briefing
- Organized to precisely and directly answer each congressional requirement
- Details the extent to which available data and analysis address reporting requirements

- Narrative FPR
- Will discuss all relevant findings, how they fulfill specific reporting requirements, and explanations for remaining gaps
- 90-Day Preparedness Updates to Congress
- Support comprehensive, data-driven National Preparedness Update for        Congress
*Ad hoc* congressional, departmental, and executive requests

- Provides a clear explanation of remaining gaps between reporting requirements and applicable data
- NPD will have the opportunity to discuss findings and gaps through a process vetting the annotated briefing

## FPR Needs

- NPD program personnel must be closely involved throughout all phases of the effort, with the aim of learning and institutionalizing a self-sustaining process
- The nature of the Report requires that all parties support the processes for collecting, monitoring, and sharing of performance information and data
- Details the extent to which available data and analysis address reporting requirements

- In order for the most current and accurate information to be incorporated into the FPR, NPD must identify and develop a consistent means for accessing data
- NPD is a data-rich environment – the challenge is to identify, analyze, and synthesize existing data before seeking more data and/or generating new information systems
- Analytical products must directly support NPD personnel in better                managing programs, budgets, and performance
