Welcome to the Bureau of Health Workforce’s Performance Measures Handbook (BPMH)! This instruction manual has been carefully designed to assist your organization in completing the required Performance Report for Grants and Cooperative Agreements (PRGCA) which is also referred to as the Annual Performance Report (APR). Please read through this manual carefully, as it contains examples and a series of step-by-step instructions that will aid you in completing all required forms.
1. All required performance measures are linked to the following legislative purpose(s) of the RNTP grant program:
Nurse Education Practice Quality and Retention (NEPQR) – Registered Nurse Training Program (RNTP). The purpose of this program is to enhance nursing education and practice to advance the health of patients, families, and communities and improve health outcomes through innovative interprofessional training programs in acute care settings aimed to address and manage social determinant of health factors and improve health equity and health literacy in vulnerable populations.
2. Data submitted by grantees must cover all activities that took place between July 01, 2023 - June 30, 2024. This is true for all grant programs except NHSC-SLRP. If you are reporting for NHSC-SLRP, data must cover all activities that took place between September 01, 2023 - August 31, 2024.
3. Each year, the APR is due no later than July 31, 2024. Failure to submit an APR by this date may place your grant in a noncompliant status. If you are reporting for NHSC-SLRP, the APR is due no later than September 20, 2024.
4. Officials at the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will review and approve all APRs submitted by grantees. In the case that revisions are needed, you will be granted the ability to re-enter the BPMH system, make corrections, and submit a revised APR. All revisions must be resubmitted within five (5) business days of the initial request. Failure to resubmit a revised APR within five (5) business days may place your grant in a noncompliant status.
