4. Performance Measures: The Government Performance and Results Act
of 1993 (GPRA) directs Federal departments and agencies to improve the
effectiveness of their programs by engaging in strategic planning,
setting outcome-related goals for programs, and measuring program
results against those goals. Given that little is known about
appropriate outcomes of device reutilization, performance measures will
be developed and implemented with the input of grantees and
stakeholders during the grant period. Once developed, OSERS will
require all grantees to use the same measures.
