Appendix D: BSET Grant Guidance and Application Kit 4. Overall, the data and metrics gathered for the output and outcomes should not be a paper exercise filling in blanks to satisfy a requirement, but should be genuinely useful to the agency using the device(s) and to other agencies seeking to use equivalent device(s). Inherent in the evaluation will be an examination of how the outputs and the outcomes will be captured, recorded and reported. Emphasis will be on a plan that: Does not overly burden the reporting agency or the monitoring agency – the reporting process should be an integral part of operations that use the device(s). Provides the data of sufficient detail to allow the replication of the best practices learned from the use of equipment from the grant – one of the most import products derived from the fielding of equipment is the knowledge of best practices that can be shared with other potential users of the technology. Provides data that can readily be audited – with the use of funds there is an inherent responsibility. Like the purpose of the outputs and the outcomes, the reporting should be more that an exercise in filling in the blanks. The reporting process should be such that it directly benefits the agencies doing the reporting, and other agencies seeking to use similar device(s). Thinking ahead how the reporting can benefit the agency using the device(s) can be an important step in effective planning.
