Performance targets in the plan depend partly on resource levels requested in the President's budget and could change based on congressional appropriation action. GPRA requires that HHS plans and budgets be accountable for program results. The intent of the Act is to improve program performance by considering performance information in decisionmaking and by involving our partners and stakeholders in accomplishing program results.
