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 ANEW grant program:
The Advanced Nursing Education Workforce (ANEW) Program aims to provide enhanced training to advanced practice nursing students to increase the number of primary care Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Midwives practicing with rural and underserved populations, thereby improving access to care by improving the distribution of health care providers. Applicants will propose to accomplish that end by developing strategies to
* Improve didactic and clinical training;
* Provide longitudinal clinical training experiences for students;
* Identify and train preceptors;
* Provide traineeship funds to students who are likely to pursue post-graduate employment in primary care with rural and underserved populations.
2. Data submitted by grantees must cover all activities that took place between July 01, 2021 - June 30, 2022. 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, 2021 - August 31, 2022.
3. Each year, the APR is due no later than July 30, 2022. However, July 31 is a Sunday, so this year it is due August 1, 2022. Failure to submit an APR by this date may place your grant in a noncompliant status.
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.
5. We appreciate your feedback and assistance during this process. If you have any questions or require further assistance in completing your APR, please visit the grants home page or contact the HRSA Call Center. All requests for technical assistance will be coordinated through the Call Center and responded to promptly: Call Center Phone Number: 877-GO4-HRSA (877-464-4772) or Call Center Online Assistance Form: click here.
