Performance Reporting Resources

Discretionary Grant Performance Measures (DGIS)

The DGIS performance measures provide MCHB with a detailed picture of the full scope of services provided by our grant programs. Additionally, the measures help MCHB show alignment between discretionary grant programs and the Title V Block Grant program, so MCHB can measure program outcomes between the two sets of programs.

For your convenience, the approved Discretionary Grant Performance Measures (PDF - 1 MB) are available to download.

Additional Reporting Resources

  • DGIS Changes (PDF - 1 MB) DGIS Changes is a crosswalk of the changes from the old DGIS forms to the new redesigned DGIS forms. All of the assigned redesigned forms are included.
  • PMHCA General Data Template 2024 (XLSX - 148 KB) The General Data Template (GDT) (2024 version) is an excel file that includes important guidance for performance reporting. The first tab is a ‘Guide’ with descriptions of all tabs. HRSA has added fillable forms for all 9 redesigned DGIS forms. These are tabs 3-11 starting with ‘Project Abstract’. The spreadsheet contains guidance for each form and measures as well as definitions for key terms, the crosswalk of DGIS changes, an updated reference of validated screening tools, and examples for Training Form 15 measures. Please refer to the GDT for guidance on all measures. HRSA strongly recommends awardees use the GDT to track data in preparation for entering data into the Performance Reports in the Electronic Handbooks.
  • PMHCA Reports and Measures by cohort. The PMHCA Reports and Measures (R&M) is a guidance document listing reporting requirements, with one PDF file for each cohort (awardees starting in 2021, 2022, and 2023). HRSA has added information on the new forms for the DGIS Redesign, the TA and Evaluation contractors, and timelines for the survey administration and data collection instruments for the Impact Study and MCHB Evaluation. Note there are no changes in the Reporting Deadlines, Reports, and NOFO Performance Reports sections, and R&M does not include expansion or non-competitive supplemental funding requirements.
