Abstract of Proposed Collection
In compliance with OMB Guidelines contained in 2 CFR 200, recipient
organizations are required to provide, and the U.S. Department of State
is required to collect, periodic program and financial performance
reports. The responsibility of the Department to track and monitor the
programmatic and financial performance necessitates a database that can
help facilitate this in a consistent and standardized manner. The SAMS
Domestic Results Monitoring Module enables enhanced monitoring and
evaluation of grants through standardized collection and storage of
relevant award elements, such as quarterly progress reports, workplans,
results monitoring plans, grant agreements, and other business
information related to implementers. The SAMS Domestic Results
Monitoring Module streamlines communication with implementers and
allows for rapid identification of information gaps for specific
projects.
Methodology
Information will be electronically entered into SAMS Domestic by
respondents.
Nathalie B. Stevens,
Division Director, Bureau of Administration, Office of Logistic
Management, Department of State.
