GPRA Definition

The Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) (1993) was enacted to improve program management throughout the Federal government and for Federally funded grants. When funds are awarded, the recipient must submit annual performance plans and reports describing the program goals and recipient’s progress toward achieving those goals. Recipients are also required to have a multi-year strategic plan in place, define measures specific to their projects, and create annual benchmarks/targets. Additionally, the federal funding agency sets GPRA measures such as those seen below. GPRA measure results are reported to Congress to assess the progress and success of the grant or program.

GPRA Measures (2019-2024)

  1. The number of school-based mental health service providers employed by LEAs.
  2. The number of school-based mental health service providers employed by LEAs retained.

GPRA Measures (2020-2025)

  1. The number of school-based mental health service providers recruited as a result of the grant.
  2. The number of school-based mental health service providers retained as a result of the grant.
