The President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2003 identified the following four key areas for extra attention and carefully targeted increases in federal expenditures: Support first responders. Defend against biological terrorism. Secure America’s borders. Use information to secure the homeland. In addition, it is expected that the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2004 will attach priority to the following items: Enhance the analytic capabilities of the FBI Build new capabilities through the Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Division of the proposed Department of Homeland Security Create “smart borders” Increase the security of international shipping containers Recapitalize the U.S. Coast Guard Prevent terrorist use of nuclear weapons through better sensors and procedures Develop broad spectrum vaccines, antimicrobials, and antidotes Integrate information sharing across the federal government” The four shaded areas in Table 6.1 represent the “major initiatives” that relate to the priorities identified in the President’s Budget. The light blue-shaded area represents the one “major initiative” that relates to the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2003; the tan-shaded areas represents the “major initiatives” that relate to the President’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2004.

Goals Achievement Methodology Sample This section uses the goals achievement template from the previous section and populates the matrix with sample data that might represent the scoring for three sample projects or initiatives. One approach to scoring the projects is to have each project or initiative score their own, but a better approach is to have a group of representative individuals, who have no immediate vested interest, complete the scoring by comparing the projects against each other. Although the scoring is somewhat arbitrary (i.e., a “5” does not have a direct meaning in and of itself), the importance is scoring the projects relative to the other projects (i.e., a project that receives a “7” is slightly better than a project that receives a “5” against the same “major initiative”). Table 6.2 illustrates the matrix with completed scores for three projects labeled “Project 1”, “Project 2”, and “Project 3”.
