• Training: The Department offers training to employees to assist them in formulating quality performance measures thatmeet internal control standards.• Performance Measure Manager System: The Performance Measure Manager (PMM) is a performance-managementdatabase that aligns the Department’s Strategic Plan with program performance goals and targets. Departmental programand staff offices input performance measures and results directly into this database on a quarterly and annual basis.Detailed tables are then produced for the “Performance Results” section of this report.DOE FY 2011 Annual Performance Report 6
PROGRAM EVALUATIONThe general purpose of program assessments and reviews are to evaluate each program’s quality and effectiveness, to support programplanning and improvement, and to encourage programs to develop directions and manage in ways that reflect the Department’sstrategic goals. The Department’s current program evaluation structure does not dedicate direct funding for agency-directedevaluation activities. The program offices within the Department determine their own staffing and allocate funding resources toplanning and conducting evaluations. They allocate time, funding, and personnel to conduct regular and systematic programassessment. The program evaluations assess challenges, strengths, weaknesses, and progress in achieving program goals.The Department program offices are responsible for planning and implementation of program evaluations. These offices develop keyresearch questions and select the appropriate methodologies for each study. Components of the program are periodically reviewed byindependent experts knowledgeable about the program and who have competence in the evaluation process and the results are used forcontinuing program development. The program assessment process is structured to measure the goals and standards of the program;instruments used are valid and reliable for their intended purpose. Program offices planning and conducting the assessment activitieshave expertise in various forms of program evaluations. These include peer and merit reviews, advisory committee reviews, studiesby the National Academy of Sciences, and audits by the Government Accountability Office and the Inspector General.The following are examples of current DOE program evaluation efforts (EERE, NNSA, Science, and IG web sites are accessible underthe “Program Evaluation” section at www.energy.gov/about-us/budget-performance):Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)The lead federal evaluator in EERE’s Planning, Budget, and Analysis office and the EERE Chief Technology Officer frequentlyconduct programs’ peer reviews. They also review draft impact evaluation plans and study reports. Impact evaluation studies are allconducted by independent, third-party professional evaluators, and their evaluation plans and study reports are reviewed by additionalexternal experts, per requirements set by EERE standard operating procedures.Office of Fossil Energy (FE)The FE/National Energy Technology Lab (NETL) conducts peer review meetings with independent, technical experts to assessongoing research projects and, where applicable, to make recommendations for improvement. The peer review panel of recognizedtechnical experts provides recommendations on how to improve the performance, management, and overall results for each individualresearch project. For example, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers assembled a panel of leading government, academic,and industry experts to conduct a review of selected Advanced Gasification research projects supported by NETL.DOE FY 2011 Annual Performance Report 7
