Abstract: The purpose is to implement a data collection process for

standards. The National Professional Development program office is
submitting this application to request approval to collect information
from NPD grantees. The proposed data collection serves two purposes.
First, the data are necessary to assess the performance of the National

measures are collected from National Professional Development grantees
for project-monitoring information.
