  **Program      **To improve the capacity of minority-serving
  Goal:**        institutions, which traditionally have limited resources
                 and serve large numbers of low-income and minority
                 students, to improve student success and to provide
                 high-quality educational opportunities for their
                 students.**

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

**Explanation**. 

Actual data and targets were calculated using IPEDS fall enrollment data
for all graduate students. These values replace data previously reported
from other sources. This program has a long term target of 14,148 for FY
2009. We will continue to report data annually, but there are no
intermediate annual targets. The target was derived by applying an
estimated annual rate of increase, based on program experience, to the
period between FY 2003 and FY 2009. Annual increases are estimated to be
1.0 percent through 2009. Data for FY 2007 will be available in December
2007.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

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

**Explanation**. The measure is calculated as the appropriation for the
Strengthening HBGIs program divided by the number of graduate degrees
awarded. The 2004 actual value reflects an appropriation of \$53.1
million divided by 4,219 degrees. The 2005 actual value reflects an
appropriation of \$58.0 million divided by 4,410 degrees. For FY
2006-09, this is a measure without targets.
