elements as needed to ensure information collection captures 
appropriate data for the Corporation's required performance measurement

Enhance data elements collected via this information collection tool; 
(b) migrate the paper version of the form to the Corporation's 
electronic grants management system, eGrants; and (c) establish 
reporting periods consistent with the Corporation's integrated grants 
management and reporting policies.
