  **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.**

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

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

**Explanation**. 

The program has recast the measure of long-term enrollment to focus on
changes in enrollment rather than the absolute numbers of students
enrolled. The new measure uses the same NCES/IPEDS fall enrollment data
for all full-time degree-seeking undergraduate students used by the
former measure except that the new measure tracks program enrollment at
the beginning of, and one year after the end of, each 5-year grant
period. The percentage change is calculated against the base year. Data
from the 2003-2007 cohort will be used to determine the target for 2013.
The target for 2013 will be for the 2008-2012 cohort and will be
developed in late 2008, using fiscal year 2008 enrollment data. (The
\"999\" entered as the target value for 2013 reflects, that in late
2008, the program will develop the target for 2013, after calculation of
FY 2008 enrollment.) This will close out the performance assessment for
the 2003 cohort. This change was made across all Institutional
Development programs so that changes in enrollment may be may be more
fairly judged as changes in institutional performance, and not due to
enrollment changes resulting from fluctuating numbers of grantee
institutions from one cohort to another.\
The actual enrollment data generating the percentage changes displayed
under actual values in table above are as follows:\
\
2003: 773,859\
2004: 825,492\
2005: 845,045\
2006: 850,184\
2007: 856,844\
\
We will report data annually but there are no intermediate annual
targets. Data for FY 2008 will be available in December 2008.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

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

**Explanation**. Institutions report a persistence rate, not the
numerator and denominator. As a result, the persistence rate for the HSI
program is calculated as a median. The target is derived by applying the
difference between regression-based predicted values from Title IV
institutions and actual grantee values for school year 2003-04, which
was 1.12 percent. Therefore, the HSI program rounded actual persistence
rate of 67 percent in FY 2004 was multiplied by 1.0112 to generate the
long-term target (for 2009) of 68 percent. Annual increases are
estimated to be 0.2 percent each year through 2009 and 0.1 percent
beginning in 2010.

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

**Explanation**. This measure is calculated as the appropriation for the
Developing HSIs program divided by the number of undergraduate and
graduate degrees awarded. The \$1,058 actual value per successful
outcome for 2003 reflects an appropriation of \$92.396 million divided
by 87,326 graduates. The \$1,030 actual value for 2004 reflects an
appropriation of \$93.993 million divided by 91,255 graduates. The
\$1,015 actual value for 2005 reflects an appropriation of \$95.106
million divided by 93,737 graduates. The \$962 actual value for 2005
reflects an appropriation of \$94,914,270 divided by 98,633 graduates.
For FY 2009, this measure is without targets.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

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

**Target Context**. The 35% 4-year graduation rate met the target
established for 2006.

**Explanation**. The target for the four-year graduation rate is derived
by applying the difference between regression-based predicted values
from Title IV institutions and actual grantee values for school year
2002-03, which was 3.54 percent. Annual increases are estimated to be
0.6 percent through 2009 and 0.3 percent beginning in 2010. The HSI
program actual four-year graduation rate of 36 percent in FY 2004 was
multiplied by 1.0354 (times 5/6) to generate the long-term target (for
2009) of 37 percent.
