The CSBG Annual Report is organized into four Modules. For Module specific tools, check out the Module 1 , Module 2, Module 3 and Module 4 Pages.
Tools:
CSBG List of “Other Indicators” (NEW)- NASCSP is releasing a list of Other NPIs that can be used when reporting in the CSBG Annual Report. This is a list of common indicators that the CSBG network said were missing from the Annual Report. NASCSP reviewed hundreds of indicators from the network and with the help of the CSBG DATA Task Force, narrowed them down to the most common indicators not already found in the Annual Report.
CSBG Annual Report Lexicon (NEW!)- This lexicon serves as a dictionary for terms in relation to CSBG and the Annual Report. The DATA Task Force Guidance and Training Committee has worked extensively on this tool, and the general DATA Task Force has provided feedback to ensure the definitions are acceptable and useful for the Network. This document is meant to be a quick reference for terms as you work on your Annual Report submissions. For more detailed guidance and instructions around the Annual Report, please refer to the Instruction Manuals located here.
Module 3 Community Initiative Status Form Review Document (NEW!)- The Community Initiative Status Form (CIS) is the entry form for Community Action Agencies (CAAs) reporting community level in Module 3 of the CSBG Annual Report. This document was developed to assist CSBG State Offices in reviewing the CIS and thus all Module 3 reporting.
Full Annual Report Numbering System– This Excel document contains the full numbering system for Module 1 through Module 4 of the Annual Report. This numbering scheme will allow the network to more easily communicate each data point in the Annual Report and will assist developers with building systems.

CSBG Annual Report/CSBG IS Survey/Organizational Standards Crosswalk – This tool crosswalks elements of the CSBG Annual Report, CSBG IS Survey and the Organizational Standards.
Organizational Standards/ROMA Principles Crosswalk – This tool lists the Organizations Standards that correspond to each phase of the ROMA cycle.
LIHEAP/HS/WIOA/WAP Crosswalk– The LIHEAP/WIOA/WAP/HS crosswalk is a technical assistance tool for the CSBG network to use when considering where or how to report indicators, services, or strategies for these four specific federal programs in the new CSBG Annual Report. It is understood that not all agencies have the same data collection and reporting capabilities and that there is discretion in selecting indicators to report for the CSBG network. As such, this crosswalk is a suggestion of where to report these programs. It is also understood that not only these programs can be reported in any of the listed indicators and that other programs may use the same indicators. Agencies should work with their state offices to answer specific reporting questions and should check with their state office before deciding where or where not to report specific programs.
