12. Government Performance Mobilizing the Network
and Results Act (GPRA)
Upload System
SAMHSA requires each ATTC to
collect evaluation forms from
participants of all ATTC events. The
National Office developed and
maintains a system that allows ATTCs
to upload the data collected on these
event evaluation forms automatically.
Prior to the National Office’s automated
system, data from each form was
entered manually, taking up precious
ATTC staff time and resources that
now can go directly to service delivery.
