==Grant metrics for Project Grants and Annual Plan Grants==
<big>'''Remember: If you should be reporting Global Metrics, this section does not apply to you.'''</big> Please go to the [[#Global metrics resources and tools]] section at the end of the page.

=== Instructions for Project Grants ===
Grantees are required to include the following metrics:
* [[#Three shared metrics|'''3 shared metrics''']], which are reported across all Project and Annual Plan grants.
** If any of these metrics are not relevant to your grant, '''they may be removed or labeled "Not Applicable"'''.
** If any of these metrics are relevant to your grant, but you do not have a specific target (perhaps because you have no baseline to set a target), notify your program officer. You may simply measure and report it in your report. 
* In addition, at least [[#+ Two grantee-defined measures|'''2 grantee-defined measures''']] that are relevant to the goals of the grant. 

=== Instructions for Annual Plan Grants ===
Grantees are required to set program objectives for each program, and to include the following metrics aggregated across all programs:
* [[#Three shared metrics|'''3 shared metrics''']], which are reported across all Project and Annual Plan grants.
** If any of these metrics are determined not relevant to the grant in consultation with your program officer, they may be removed or labeled "Not Applicable" and substituted with an appropriate additional metric.
* In addition, at least [[#+ Two grantee-defined measures|'''2 grantee-defined measures''']] that are relevant to the goals of the grant; you are free to include more if desired. These grantee-defined measures should be relevant to one or more of your programs. 
This is a total of '''at least 5 metrics.'''

===+ Two grantee-defined measures===
{|
|- style="vertical-align: top;background:#EFEFEF"
| These measures (whether quantitative or qualitative) may be used to highlight outcomes not captured adequately by the shared metrics. These measures could capture the outcomes of a single program (e.g. one edit-a-thon), or a set of programs (e.g. a series of edit-a-thons); there is no preset list to choose from when selecting these measures.

See the [[#Additional resources for defining your measures|additional resources for grantee-defined measures]] for help in finding and selecting measures that are relevant to your goals and activities, or consult your program officer.
