Background
The process of developing standard project statements began at the Fall 2015 TRACS Working Group meeting. At the meeting, the WSFR Training Branch was initially tasked with evaluating the current list of custom indicators used in TRACS, with a stated goal of determining if WSFR could implement standard objectives for various project statements in TRACS that would complement the efforts being done on the results chains. The goal of this effort was to create a suite of standard project statements (best management practices) for the most common project types that States routinely perform using grant funds from WSFR programs.
...
The Training Branch would like to express our sincerest appreciation to everyone who assisted in this significant effort. The quality of the final project statements would not have been possible without the continuing effort and partnership that exists between WSFR and the States. The Training Branch has received numerous requests to develop additional sample project statements and we are committed to assisting in this continuing effort as time allows in the future.
Directions
To view the final versions of the standard project statements, please click on the links below to access the various project statements. Users will be able to view each project statement individually, based on each project type. At the bottom of each project statement page, we have provided several additional sections (i.e. Related Pages, Resources, and References) that may benefit WSFR and State staff. You may download a Word version of each project statement by clicking on the link provided under the "Resources" tab at the bottom of each standard project statement page.
