Differences Between FY23 and FY24 Reports

FY23 was the first year Annual Reports were submitted through National PEARS. As there wasn’t a FY23 plan in the system to generate the FY23 report from, adjustments were made to the system to help facilitate data entry. The following list briefly outlines a few features that will vary from FY23 reports.

There will not be a setup module for FY24 reports. All goals, objectives, and implementing agencies will be pulled from your FY24 plan.​
Copy 
Projects, evaluations, and coordination and collaboration will be copied from your planned items in FY24.
