Sites

How PEARS Site data maps to Project Sites in N-PEARS.

Sites in PEARS map to the Project Sites section of Project and Activity Results in N-PEARS. Sites are included automatically based on their association with other qualifying records.

Inclusion Criteria

Any site linked to a qualifying Program Activity, PSE Site Activity, or Success Story is included in the export. Sites do not need to meet any additional criteria beyond being associated with an included record.
