annual performance plan required under the Government Performance and Results

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.
