A planned or proposed figure, not a reported one.
If none of the suggested project-specific measures fits, applicants work with their SNC Area Representative; proposed measures need SNC approval and each needs a clear definition, a description of data collection method(s), data source information and target values.
Results are attainment: actual divided by the promised value, for rows where the source gives both. Medians mix every measure a program reports; the measure pages split them.
Results by kind of promised value: 355 with a target printed beside the result; 324 with a goal set before the period. These are agency-reported program figures, not individual grantees.
