NSF Soliciting Public Comment on Draft GPRA Plan
The National Science Foundation is joining other federal agencies in
preparing to implement the requirements of the Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. The law requires all federal agencies
to account for program results through the integration of strategic
planning, budgeting and performance measurement. The GPRA process
will ultimately be integrated into the federal budget process.
By August of this year, agencies must submit GPRA-compliant strategic
plans to OMB. By September 30, final versions of these plans must be submitted
to Congress. NSF has been moving steadily within the past year toward
integration of its strategic plan with the intent and requirements of
GPRA. The agency is receiving ongoing input from advisory committees and
the National Science Board, and is consulting with the Congress. Now,
in preparation for the August deadline, NSF is welcoming input from the
broader science and engineering community on its draft GPRA Strategic
Plan.
NSF constituents are invited to comment through the web (via a link
from the draft plan), or via email to a special Internet address (gpraplan@nsf.gov).
