PRISM - PRoject Information SysteM

The Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) has improved PRISM to make it easier and more flexible for users!

What is PRISM?
PRISM is an automated, grant management system that can be used over the Internet by applicants, sponsors, agencies, legislators, and the public. What are the benefits of PRISM?

• Information is at your fingertips.
• Summary or detailed reports can be printed easily.
• Applications can be submitted and modified online.
• The status of applications, contracts, and billings can be viewed quickly.
• Your information is saved and backed up

PRISM has two modules available to the public through the Internet:

• Project Management Module: The project management module has automated the grant process. You can apply for a grant online and view evaluations, contract documents, management reports, maps, and billing information. PRISM allows you to print maps of projects based on streams, counties, Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA), etc. Please visit our Recreation and Conservation Funding Board (RCFB) Interactive Maps page or the Boat Launch and Moorage Interactive Maps page.
• Monitoring Module: The monitoring module was developed to track indicators to evaluate whether projects are effective. To learn more about the monitoring module please visit the Monitoring Module page.

PRISM System Requirements
