Common use of Local Performance Assessment Clause in Contracts

Local Performance Assessment. Grantees must periodically review the performance data they report to SAMHSA (as required above), assess their progress, and use this information to improve management of their grant projects. The community readiness assessment is designed to help determine whether you are achieving the goals, objectives and outcomes you intend to achieve and whether adjustments need to be made to your project. Community readiness assessments should be used also to determine whether your project is having/will have the intended impact on behavioral health disparities. You will be required to report on your progress achieved, barriers encountered, and efforts to overcome these barriers in a performance assessment report to be submitted annually. Grantees should use the community readiness assessment to find out: • Whether they are reaching the goals they set for the grant. • Whether the grant is having the impact they want it to have in their community. • Whether community readiness scores are rising in key dimensions. • Whether they need to make adjustments to their project. Grantees will be required to report on their progress, challenges they’ve faced, and what they’ve done to overcome those challenges in a report that should be submitted at least two times per grant year. The grantee’s SAMHSA Government Project Officer will work with them on the format of this report after the grant has been awarded. No more than 20 percent of the total grant award may be used for data collection, performance measurement, and performance assessment, e.g., activities required in Sections I-2.3 and 2.4 above. Be sure to include these costs in your proposed budget (see Appendix II).
