| Abstract: In the current environment of accountability, organizations are expected to practice Budget-Performance Integration (BPI) that enables transparent productivity associated with funding. Organizations are assessed and performance ratings are presented to the public to demonstrate transparency. To address the BPI reporting requirements, including GPRA and PART, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the nation's primary biomedical research agency, developed a centralized online e-tool, called Program Performance Monitoring System (PPMS). This management tool provides automated technology for planning, collecting, monitoring, assessing and reporting performance goals, annual targets, and associated budgets, while making data available to decision-makers in a timely manner. The expert lecture will outline components of PPMS, provide insight into agency implementation and adoption, and discuss how the single point access application enhances communication and management to foster research planning. A visual graphics and Strategic Planning initiative, the next generation of development, moves PPMS towards a strategic level tool. |
