Quarterly Performance Reports Due Aug 15: Technical Assistance Opportunities

We are happy to announce three upcoming Performance Reporting Office Hour Sessions. These sessions are an opportunity to bring your performance reporting questions directly to DOL staff prior to finalizing your quarterly reports:

1. July 25, 2024, 2-3 p.m.(ET)/11-12 (PT)
2. August 1, 2024, 2-3 p.m.(ET)/11-12 (PT)
3. August 8, 2024, 2-3 p.m.(ET)/11-12 (PT)

We strongly encourage those involved with collecting and reporting participant data to attend. We emailed calendar invitations with the Microsoft Teams links for each of these dates. If you need an invitation, please email NursingExpansion@dol.gov. 

How to Get the Most Out of Office Hours

There are two types of questions that are typically asked during Office Hours sessions: 
 1. a clarification question whose answer is the same for all grantees; 
 2. a grant-specific question about how to apply a reporting concept to the grantee’s situation.
When you have grant-specific questions (i.e., questions that will help you answer a question about your situation but may not apply to all grantees), we strongly encourage you to send them to us at least one day ahead of the call at NursingExpansion@dol.gov, if possible. This will give us time to review relevant documents about your grant (i.e., your Statement of Work, your data file in WIPS, etc.) ahead of time and help ensure we have enough information to answer your question during the session and avoid a delay in our response.  

General Reporting Reminders

1. The interim reporting period has ended. Both Quarterly Performance Reports (QPR) and Quarterly Narrative Reports (QNR) are due on August 15, 2024. 
2. The participant data file submitted this quarter must include data for all participants served from the start of the grant on June 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. 
3. On June 11, 2024, we shared the updated 2021 H-1B PIRL schema (Version 1.1). The update does not substantially change the schema or outcomes in any way; however, we recommend you make sure your data management systems match the current 2021 H-1B schema (Version 1.1) to avoid system errors and inaccurate reporting. 
As you prepare for participant reporting, please utilize the resources available on performance reporting section of the COP including:
     - Performance Reporting Handbooks
     - Performance Reporting Orientation (4-part series)
     - Sample data files
     -And more!

We look forward to seeing you at the Office Hours sessions. Email NursingExpansion@dol.gov with any performance reporting questions (please cc your FPO).

Happy Reporting!
