FY 2004 is expected to show an increase because the grants from FY 2003 are now in their second year. It is anticipated that in FY 2005 there will be a decrease in performance because it will be the first year of a new grant cycle and FY 2006 should then increase as projects will be in their second year. |
Additional Source Information: Grantee performance indicator data. Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2004 Data Available: January 2005 Validated By: On-Site Monitoring By ED. The sources and data quality are validated by checking to see if the data are reasonable. On site compliance reviews are also conducted on at least 15 percent of grant recipients annually to (a) determine whether that grant is managed in accordance with Federal requirements; (b) identify areas where the project can be improved; and (c) assess the project's mission as it relates to the Department's mission. Limitations: The primary limitation of the data is that they are self-reported. Technical assistance and regular monitoring is provided to grantees in order to receive updated reports from the grantee regarding progress toward meeting project goals. |
