Summary

The proposed changes to the Global Antimicrobial Resistance (AR) Laboratory and Response Network Performance Measurement tool included in this request are largely wording and formatting changes that enhance the clarity of the questions/instructions and facilitate ease of navigating the tool both as a Word/pdf document and in REDCap, the data collection platform for this tool. The overall content and substance of the tool remains unchanged.

Background and Justification

An overview of pilot data and responses from first time rolling out the Performance Measurement tool to all recipients in late 2024 helped us to identify areas of the tool where we could create multiple choice menus with answer options for respondents, to eliminate the need to provide open-ended responses wherever possible. This would reduce the reporting burden for some parts of the tool for the recipient and facilitate more streamlined data analysis with the responses provided.

Some questions were moved and/or added to the latter part of the tool to capture data at a more granular level for drawing more robust conclusions across all projects being implemented. This will increase the reporting burden for this tool by approximately one hour per recipient per year, for a total of 5 annual burden hours per recipient.
