| CFDA Number: | 84.120A - Minority Science and Engineering Improvement |
| Program Goal: To improve the capacity of minority-serving institutions, which traditionally have limited resources and serve large numbers of low-income and minority students, to improve student success and to provide high-quality educational opportunities for their students. |
| Objective 1 of 3: To increase enrollment of minority undergraduates in the fields of engineering or physical and biological sciences at minority-serving institutions over the long term. |
| Indicator 1.1 of 1: The percentage change in the number of full-time, degree-seeking minority undergraduate students at grantee institutions enrolled in the fields of engineering or physical or biological sciences, compared to the average minority enrollment in the same fields in the three-year period immediately prior to the beginning of the current grant. |
Survey/Assessment: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Web Site: http://nces.ed.gov/ipedspas/ Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: February 2006 Data Validated By: NCES. Data supplied by institutions, which certify the accuracy of the data. Explanation: Fall enrollment data will be reported annually to measure progress in meeting a long-term target, for 2009. OPE anticipates providing data for SY 2002-03 and SY 2003-04 in February 2006. The FY 2006 and 2007 targets are to maintain the baseline and to set the long-term target value for 2009. The Department is exploring additional data sources beyond the biennial IPEDS field study data. |
