The findings of the first PART analysis were released on Feb. 3 as an accompaniment of the President's FY04 budget. The Performance Institute has analyzed the data from all 234 evaluations and organized it into several formats in order to create a context for the results of an individual program or agency.

Raw Data - Here you will find the original 234 Excel spreadsheets, exactly as released by the Office of Management and Budget.

Inventory of Original Program Data Files

Overall Results by Program - For each program, the subtotals of each section of the PART were extracted and put into a master document. Those subtotals were then added up and averaged. All six columns of data (four PART sections, aggregate and average) are contained on each of these three spreadsheets.

Overall Results by Cabinet Department - For each agency, the data collected for each of its evaluated programs was added up and averaged to create agency-wide scores. NOTE: This data should not be construed as an evaluation of the agency's management performance. It is merely an evaluation of the programs within an agency.

Section Results by Program - The PART questionnaire is divided into four sections: Program Purpose, Program Planning, Program Management and Program Results/Accountability. Clicking on the links below will take you to pages that will explain how to interpret each section, as well as the results and rankings.

Overall Results by Program Type - The Office of Management and Budget created customized PART evaluation forms for the seven different program types. After building a master spreadsheet containing the section subtotals, the aggregate, and the average scores, the list was divided according to the program type. Then it was ranked. Those rankings are below.
