FDP FFATA Workload Survey
In 2021, FDP developed and distributed an anonymous survey to its members to gather information that may help the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the General Services Administration’s (GSA) review of FFATA reporting and the FSRS system. The survey collected institutional demographics, interpretation of FFATA policies and definitions, procedures for filing FFATA reports, and users’ experience using the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) and the Federal Service Desk (FSD) for user support.
The following report summarizes the data obtained from FDP’s FFATA Workload survey.
