CNCS Performance Measurement

CNCS' Performance Measurement framework provides a common focal point for CNCS' work across all programs and initiatives. CNCS has a focused set of Agency-Wide Priority Measures derived from the 2011-2015 Strategic Plan. Every CNCS Program will contribute to the Agency-Wide Priority Measures. There are also specific grantee/sponsor measures that roll up into the Agency-Wide Priority Measures, which you can see in the Agency-Wide Priority Measures chart. Each CNCS Program also has Complementary Program Measures to collect additional performance information. See how your program measures fit in with the 16 Agency-Wide Priority Measures.
