Metrics for Assessment of Grant Outcomes

The document specifies that subawardees must report key performance indicators to the Forest Service and provide quarterly progress reports to GreenLatinos. It emphasizes that activities must be focused on low-income and disadvantaged communities, referencing tools like the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool and EJScreen for guidance. A non-exhaustive list of possible metrics is provided, covering tree inventory, canopy expansion, community outreach, workforce training, and the creation of green jobs.

• Subawardees are required to report data using key performance indicators or metrics to the Forest Service and are requested to provide quarterly progress reports to GreenLatinos to ensure adherence to their Scope of Work.
• Project activities must be targeted toward low-income and disadvantaged communities, with guidance provided by the EPA IRA Disadvantaged Communities, the Climate and Economic Justice Screening Tool, and EJScreen.
• The document lists various quantitative and qualitative metrics for assessing outcomes, including the number of trees planted, acres of increased canopy cover, the number of green jobs created, and the impact of municipal Urban Forestry Plans.
• The Forest Service has provided interim guidance on metrics as a draft to illustrate the types of information that may eventually be required by a web-based USDA-FS UCF IRA Accomplishment Reporting System currently under development.
