PIMS Data Collection Tool

The purpose of this tool is to facilitate data collection to enable easy and accurate reporting of Performance Improvement and Measurement System (PIMS) measures at the end of the grant budget year. The tool tracks both planning and results of Flex-funded performance improvement projects. The tool is organized by activity categories and aligns with the questions asked in PIMS. This data collection tool is designed to collect participation and improvement data over one grant year. The recorded webinar provides a detailed introduction and examples of how to use the PIMS data tool.
