Explanation: Some Javits fellows pursue programs in fields for which the terminal degree is below the doctorate level; their attainment is not accounted for. In future years the measures will reflect graduate school completion rate and average time to degree completion.   		Frequency: Annually.
Collection Period: 2003 - 2004
Data Available: December 2004
Validated By: No Formal Verification.

Limitations: The new Annual Performance Report will require grantees to report completion data on their fellows (thus obtaining completion information on both doctoral programs and those programs where the Master of Fine Arts is the terminal degree).
