Report Form 3b Discretionary Grant Final Performance Report - Part 2 Qu

Final Performance Report: Part 2, Quantitative Information
The purpose of the final performance report is to provide a permanent record of program
accomplishments. The Institute will use the numbers from this quantitative form to report to
Congress and the Office of Management and Budget about the agency’s progress on addressing
its strategic goals of sustaining cultural heritage and knowledge, enhancing learning and
innovation, and supporting the professional development of library and museum staff.
Refer to Glossary to Support Grant Reporting (http://www.imls.gov/pdf/Glossary.pdf) to assist
with definitions of terms.
IMLS has identified a number of activities, products, and participant groups that are commonly
addressed through IMLS grants and seeks output/outcome data about these on this form. In your
interim and final narrative reports, you are asked to describe project activities – this form seeks
to gather the quantitative data associated with these activities. While your grant may have
multiple activities (and all should be listed in the narrative part of your report), you should
identify up to three main activities (that have discrete outputs or outcomes) per grant and
complete one of the following forms for each activity. For instance, your grant may have
mounted an exhibit, conducted teacher workshops, and developed a related curriculum. You
should fill out one form per activity, since each with have a different set of outputs or outcomes,
and may have served distinct audiences. If your grant consisted of one primary activity, such as
supporting 12 students to complete Master’s degrees, one form will probably be sufficient. If
you have questions about which activities to choose to record on this form, refer them to your
program officer.
The form has been developed to cover the most common of grant activities. Since every grant is
unique to its own institution and audience, some grants have outputs and outcomes from
activities not included on this form. Questions 10, 15 and 24 are catch-alls. The responses to
these questions should not be included in other responses.
How to fill out this form: Numbers should encompass only those activities and individuals
directly affected by or involved in your project between your grant start and end dates. Leave
blank any items that do not apply to your grant or for which you do not have actual figures or
reasonable estimates.
