  • The program has developed a challenging and ambitious set of long-term and annual outcome measures. The long-term and annual performance measures are based on program vision, mission, and positive health outcomes of the Nation.
  • The program has effective program management policies and procedures in place to ensure accountability of funds, efficiencies and cost effectiveness both internally and among grantees and partners. Grantee performance data are communicated to the public in a transparent and meaningful manner.
