How To Add an Award Reimbursement Performance Goal

Reimbursement goals are goals with a discrete unit to achieve, and a dollar rate associated per unit. When tracking progress against a reimbursement goal, Responsible Individuals may enter Units Achieved.

If the goal is added as a budget item, the reimbursement goal will appear as part of the grant’s expense budget. If a reimbursement goal is shown on the grant budget, any updates made to the goal through the performance plan will automatically update the budget. An example of a Reimbursement goal is “Number of Patient Screenings” with target/ maximum units of 100, and a reimbursement rate per unit of $22. Reimbursement goals are used to support pay for performance grants.
