NHEA grantee briengs. In August, NHEC gathered grantees for a brieng with
Hawaii Congressional sta members. Grantees were strongly encouraged to
cooperate with NHEC by providing data for their projects. In turn, grantees
communicated their concerns, such as a desire for increased nocaon of
grant opportunies and training; cultural based performance indicators;
networking and capacity building; informaon on resources, parcularly those
products produced by NHEP; collaboraon; technical assistance; and online
access to curriculum models.

Senator Inouye requested an outcomes report for allNave Hawaiian organiza-
ons receiving federal grants through his advocacy eorts. The Oce of Hawaiian
Aairs (OHA) was tasked with compiling the report for the various organizaons.
A data collecon matrix with specic variables was sent to the dierent Nave Ha-waiian organizaons idened by the Senators oce. NHEC collected data from
NHEA grantees and completed the matrix. NHEC worked with OHA to validate,
clean, and update the database created from the matrices. During this process,
NHEC idened gaps (e.g., lack of consistent denions of outcomes; need for a
database or reporng mechanism to collect this type of informaon annually) and
potenal processes to address such gaps in the future.
