The Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide assists grant applicants and grantees in developing PMPs, a mandatory component for federal programs per 18 FAM 301.4-3. This guide focuses on performance indicators, categorizing them as output-level (measuring immediate deliverables like the number of people trained) and outcome-level (measuring achievements like percentage change in knowledge). PMPs must include at least two output-level and one outcome-level indicator per project outcome, adhering to SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound). Grantees are required to use at least three CT Standard Indicators, along with customized indicators where appropriate. Key components of a PMP include indicator definition, data disaggregation (e.g., by sex, location), data sources (primary or secondary), reporting frequency, responsible points of contact, unit of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. The document emphasizes robust PMPs that capture both outputs and outcomes, with a strong recommendation to maximize the use of CT Standard Indicators and disaggregate all people-related data. A sample PMP template illustrates how to structure indicators for project outcomes, providing examples for output and outcome-level indicators, including specific metrics, definitions, data sources, and targets.

Grantees must utilize "SMART" criteria and integrate at least three CT Standard Indicators, including one outcome-level indicator. The guide details critical data elements for the PMP, including precise indicator definitions, demographic and geographic disaggregations, reliable primary or secondary data sources, reporting frequencies (ideally quarterly), responsible points of contact, baseline data, and realistic final targets. Additionally, the document provides a standard PMP definitions table, an illustrative template demonstrating how to structure and populate these metrics for a sample prosecutions project, and two annexes explaining "SMART" indicators and listing standard CT-wide indicators. This framework ensures that federal grant recipients establish robust, accountable, and standardized monitoring systems to evaluate the performance and tangible impact of their counterterrorism programs.

This document is a Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide designed to assist Counterterrorism (CT) grant applicants and grantees in developing monitoring plans. Pursuant to 18 FAM 301.4-3, all major projects must establish a PMP to measure and monitor implementation progress. A compliant PMP must include at least one outcome-level indicator (measuring high-level results or behavioral changes) and two output-level indicators (measuring immediate, direct activities) per project outcome. Indicators must be "SMART" (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound). Grantees are required to incorporate at least three relevant CT Standard Indicators, which must include at least one outcome-level indicator. The guide outlines the key components of a PMP, including indicator definitions, disaggregation parameters (such as sex, location, or organization), data sources, reporting frequencies (ideally updated quarterly), and designated points of contact. It also details the necessity of defining initial baselines and setting ambitious yet achievable final targets. Additionally, the document provides a standard PMP definitions table, a sample CT project template focused on prosecutions, and two annexes. Annex I explains the "SMART" framework, while Annex II lists the eight CT-Wide Standard Indicators spanning training, events, equipment, course materials, knowledge utility, and collaboration categories. Grantees are permitted to develop customized indicators to complement these standard metrics.
