Conduct merit systems studies and recommend improvements to policy-makers and practitioners.

Other Information:

Summary of results for Performance Goal 2.1: This Performance Goal was MET. Five external studies (including the FY 2009 Annual Report) were completed, and an additional 4 internal studies were completed. A draft research agenda has been developed and we are committed to a transparent process for finalizing the new agenda. Merit Systems studies continue to be cited by wide range of stakeholders and policy-makers. Most significantly, the President’s 2010 hiring reform initiative included numerous, longstanding MSPB policy recommendations. In FY 2011, the target will be completing six studies and issuing four editions of the Issues of Merit newsletter. We will also continue to track and evaluate methods for measuring the impact of studies and pilot the use of revolving content on our webpage.
