The RCP Data Indicator Form must be completed and submitted to ORR in GrantSolutions by the reporting due date following each reporting period along with the Project Performance Form, which should be completed according to the instructions included with that form. Data should reflect outcomes for the most recent reporting period only – do not include cumulative data. Grantees should not modify the data form or add additional indicators. Grantees may add additional indicators and/or explanations regarding outcomes within the Project Performance Report if they choose.

Potential participants who only attend orientation/recruitment events but do not create a career development plan should not be counted.

Participants may be included in more than one category if they enrolled in multiple types of programs.
