Explanation: This is a new indicator for the program and requests grantees to go above and beyond the commitment currently required in the program regulations. As such the program office will need to publish the intent of this indicator for public comment and has not yet had an opportunity to implement the indicator. The baseline will be established in FY 2004. The competitive points will be offered beginning with the FY 2005 applications and the results will be available in December 2006. |
Source: Performance Report Grantee Performance Report: 1840-0748 GAANN Final Performance Report. Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: - 2004 Data Available: December 2006 Validated By: No Formal Verification. Limitations: Grantees are currently not required to submit performance reports beyond the 3-year grant period. Therefore, there is no method of formally validating that additional years of support are provided. This means that the only way to collect consistent data is in the application stage. Because GAANN grantees will usually apply year-after-year and therefore have an incentive to live up to their commitments, we believe that until regulatory changes can be put into place, years promised in an application is a reliable proxy for years of support actually provided. Improvements: The program office will seek to include in the program regulations a requirement that grantees must submit status updates for all years in which student support is attributable to the GAANN grant. This includes the 3-year grant period, 2-year required match, and any additional years committed to by the grantee in its application. |

Explanation: This is a new indicator for the program and the first data will be available in December 2003. Baseline will be established in 2003. 2004 data will be baseline data established in 2003 + 1%. The long-term goal for this measure is the 2003 baseline + 5%. |
