AI Summary
The Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) outlines a framework for collecting data from program participants, primarily for federal government RFPs, federal grants, and state/local RFPs. It standardizes indicators and survey questions using the Monitoring Data for ECA (MODE) Framework. Applicants must review the solicitation document to identify relevant MODE indicators, include custom objectives/indicators if necessary, and set targets for all chosen indicators. The PMP defines key terms such as "Participant," "Host community," and "Virtual exchange," and details specific performance indicators across various objectives including advancing cross-cultural competence, increasing participant impact on communities, strengthening engagement, and enhancing personal/professional abilities. Data collection methods primarily involve post-program self-reported surveys, with some administrative data collected semi-annually or annually. The document emphasizes the importance of consistent measures and provides resources for PMP creation.
