Performance Measures: All ARC investments must have a documented measure of success. This "measure of success" is defined in your "output" and "outcome" performance measures. Your project may offer one or several quantitative performance measures. OUTPUT = short-term impact of ARC's investment OUTCOME = long-term impact of program or project. Please see the guidance materials on southerntier8.org and add a value for the OUTPUT &OUTCOME column that relates to your specific project. **For the categories on the left-side column, it is likely that you will have OUTPUTS & OUTCOMES for just one or two categories (NOT ALL; i.e. if you are helping businesses, it's not likely that you will be helping patients or students) & be realistic, if you are not serving the entire community, do not offer the community's entire population for number of residents). *
