OPR Performance Review Tutorial – Map of the United States highlighting the ten HRSA Regional Divisions.

Tutorial Contents

The tutorial was developed to provide viewers with a basic understanding of the philosophy behind the Performance Review Protocol and a general orientation to the key activities in the performance review process.

As you become more involved in the performance review process, you may find that there are slight variations in interpretation or implementation among regions, grant programs and review teams. The framework and process were created to be flexible enough to accommodate these variations and allow for a process that best fits a particular situation or circumstance.

You can view the entire tutorial by clicking on the first section and continuing to the end, or you can pick and choose which sections you wish to review by clicking on the section titles below. At any point in the tutorial, you can access other sections by clicking the Tutorial Contents button. Click the Additional Resources button to access an annotated list.

Throughout the tutorial, there are practice activities to check your understanding of the concepts presented. These optional activities will not prevent you from advancing to the next screen.

OPR is committed to continually reviewing and improving our review process and products. As a result of this commitment, OPR may make refinements to the Protocol and/or review process to reflect shifts in OPR/HRSA priorities. As we roll out refinements or process improvements, we will make annual updates to the tutorial.
