Office of Planning and Accountability
The CSREES Office of Planning and Accountability (OPA) provides leadership to the agency in strategic planning, performance measurement, and evaluation. The agency uses these activities to improve program leadership and management, allocation of resources, and evaluation of success. These activities are described fully on the agency's Strategic Planning and Accountability Web page.
Specific responsibilities in this regard include:
OPA also manages the programmatic reporting on the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act (AREERA) Plan of Work and Annual Report; the CSREES review of multi-state research projects (see NIMSS, a system run by the regional associations of agricultural experiment station directors, for more information); and intellectual property reporting and issues. In support of the associate administrator, the director of OPA coordinates the assignment of national program leaders for institutional (program) reviews.
