Budget and Performance Integration - Expected Results

OMB signaled its intention to base agency and program funding on tangible results, and to use comparisons between various programs to make budget decisions.

OMB's Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART)

In July of 2002, the Office of Management and Budget announced development of a tool for formally evaluating the effectiveness of federal programs, called the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART).

OMB’s PART Questions

The PART questionnaire for each program was divided into four sections: 1. Program Purpose & Design, 2. Strategic Planning, 3. Program Management, and 4. Program Results.

PART Instructions

The PART’s instructions set a high standard for compliance with what each question sought and put the burden of proof on the program to show that it had fully met the evidentiary requirements.

PART Program Ratings

The 5 categories of possible ratings: Effective, Moderately Effective, Adequate, Ineffective, and Results Not Demonstrated.
