System Transition Overview PIMS EHB/HGPR The progress report function in the Performance Improvement and Measurement System (PIMS) has been transitioned to the Electronic Handbook (EHB) module as of 9/23/2011. Grantees will no longer submit progress reports through PIMS, but through the “other submissions” module in EHB through the HCCN Grantee Progress Report (HGPR) file. All reports in the former PIMS are available in read-only format so grantees will still have access to all of their prior reports.
