Progress: Annual reports for 10/01 ? 09/02 have been received and data is being analyzed by Program Officers.

Explanation: Data from the reports will be available by the February, 2003 reporting period.  
Frequency: Annually.
Collection Period: 2001 - 2002
Data Available: February 2003
Validated By: No Formal Verification.
Data will be supplied by grantees through uniform reporting. No formal verification procedure applied.

Limitations: Grantees may have difficulty in reporting on their impact to an external agency. Numerous external factors may change the provision or methods of rehabilitation services, and grantees may not be able to pinpoint their impact in the process. Increased contact/interaction with State VR and other rehabilitation service agencies should in crease the impact.

Indicator 8.2.1 of 1: Dissemination: The percentage of funded projects that disseminate information to state VR agencies and other funded projects and disability-related organizations will increase and the number of presentations will increase.
