How To Add a Grant Percent Changed Performance Goal

A grant's performance is measured by achievements against programmatic goals. If achievements are not meeting their given goal allocations, the grant's performance risk may be impacted.

Percent changed goals are goals to track a percent increase or decrease. Percent changed goals are defined with a starting percent and a desired percent. When tracking progress against a percent changed goal, Responsible Individuals may capture Total Possible and Total Achieved percentages. An example of a percent change goal is “Decrease in Student Absences” with a starting absentee rate of 10%, and a goal absentee rate of 3%.
