Program Activities

Program activities in PEARS generally feed into the Direct Education section of Project and Activity Results in National PEARS.
A video walkthrough of this mapping document is provided here:

Logic Applied

Records Included:
  • Only records attached to the selected Reporting Year (i.e., 2023)
  • Only records with the “SNAP-Ed” Program Area attached
  • Only records that are marked as complete
Records Excluded:
  • Any record entered by Canopy staff or test users
  • Any record where all sessions are less than 20 minutes in length
Additional Logic:
  • For any data in Project and Activity Results, the project specified in the “SNAP-Ed Custom Data” section of PEARS must match a corresponding Project in N-PEARS. Data will be aggregated/included by project.
