**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Data are supplied by institutions, which certify the
accuracy of the data.

**Explanation**. The calculation is the annual appropriation for FLAS
divided by the number of FLAS fellowship recipients increasing their
average competency score by at least one point from pre- to post-test.
Data for FY 2005 will be available in December 2006. For FY 2006-2008,
this will be an efficiency measure without targets.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Data are supplied by institutions, which certify the
accuracy of the data.

**Target Context**. A target value of 1.2 for change over the year
reflects an ambitious overall goal for the program.

**Explanation**. Overall change in the language competency
self-assessment reflects a mix of different levels of improvement at all
stages (beginner, intermediate, advanced) of the three modalities of
language acquisition that the assessment measures (reading, writing,
speaking). Beginning language students may be expected to make larger
advances over a given time period (and therefore have larger change
scores) than more advanced students. A target value of 1.2 for change
over the year reflects an ambitious overall goal for the program.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Data are supplied by institutions, which certify the
accuracy of the data.

**Explanation**. This measure is being discontinues and replaced by a
new measure: cost per Master\'s, including MBA, degree recipient or
Ph.D. graduate employed in business-related fields, including teaching
in a business school. For FY 2006 and FY 2007, this is an efficiency
measure without a target. This measure is calculated as the
appropriation for CIBE divided by the sum of the number of CIBE
Master\'s graduates who find employment in business and the number of
CIBE Ph.D. graduates who find employment in higher education and
government. The 2004 actual value reflects an appropriation of \$11.1
million divided by 3,695 employed graduates. Data for FY 2005 will be
available in March 2008.
