HOW WE MEASURED OUR RESEARCH PERFORMANCE IN <strong>2004</strong>-<strong>2005</strong><br />
Our Performance Measures are established annually by the Department of Human Service and can vary each year. Comparative annual<br />
data is shown for the 3-year period from 2002-2003 (as measures remained unchanged in this period), and where the % change is<br />
meaningful.<br />
