**Specific Instructions for Completing the Performance Report**

**SECTION I: PROJECT IDENTIFICATION, CERTIFICATION, AND WARNING**

**A. Identification**

1.  To begin completing this report online, from the Department's Web
    page you will need to click on
    [https://webprod.cbmiweb.com/mcnair/](https://webprod.cbmiweb.com/ub/),
    a Web site hosted by our contractor to support submittal of annual
    performance reports.

2.  Once at the contractor\'s Web site (entitled \"McNair Online Annual
    Performance Report for Program Year 2006--07\"), you will need to
    complete a step that is new from last year: registration to receive
    a user ID and temporary password. Registration requires entry of the
    project director\'s first and last names and e-mail address and the
    project\'s PR award number (found on the Grant Award Notification).
    If this information matches the data that the Department currently
    has on file, a user ID and temporary password will be sent to the
    e-mail address on file. If discrepancies exist, your program
    specialist and the Help Desk will be sent an e-mail message
    requesting verification of data on the project. Please allow 24
    hours for this verification to occur. Once the Help Desk has
    received verification from the program specialist, the grantee will
    be notified that he or she can continue with registration.

3.  Once you have your user ID and temporary password, you may enter
    those on the site and click \"Log in.\" You will be guided to select
    a new password, then to log in again.

4.  You will be asked to confirm that the PR/Award number and associated
    grantee name are correct; you will then see the page for Section I.
    Your PR/Award number will be automatically inserted into line 1 of
    Section I of the report form.

5.  The system will also pre-populate most of the other data fields in
    Section I. Please review the pre-populated fields, including the
    project director's e-mail address, and update these fields as
    needed. You may change the data in all fields except for the
    project's PR/Award Number, the Grantee Name, and the Report Period.

> program unless this report is completed and filed as required by
> existing law (20 U.S.C. 1231a) and regulations (34 CFR 75.590 and
> 75.720).

**SECTION II: PARTICIPANT LIST**

Each grantee is required to submit **annually** detailed information on
each student served by the project during the academic year being
reported as well as provide updated information on prior year
participants still being tracked. [The data file thus should contain a
complete listing of current- and prior-year project
participants]{.underline}.

[Please note that the data file you submit must conform to the
specifications of the record structure.]{.underline}

[Fields \# 1 - 25 and 40 -- 44]{.underline} should be completed or
updated as needed for all current and prior year participants on the
data file.

[Fields \# 26 - 39]{.underline} should be completed only for those
project participants who received these services from the McNair project
during the current (2006-07) reporting period.

**General Instructions for the Participant List**

(1) **Who should be included on the annual data file?**

The data file should include one record for each student served by the
project during the academic year being reported as well as all prior
year participants still being tracked. [A project must track the
progress of participants until they (1) obtain the doctoral degree
(Ph.D., Ed.D., etc.) or a first professional degree (JD, MD, DDS, etc.),
(2) have not enrolled in graduate or undergraduate studies for at least
one term in the last five years, or (3) have been out of contact for a
period of five or more years.]{.underline}

**(2) How should participant's status (new, continuing, or prior year),
current grade level, and enrollment status be reported?**

When preparing the data file, please note the following clarifications
regarding how to report a participant's status (new, continuing, or
prior year), current grade level, and end-of-the-year enrollment status.

Since the Department of Education needs to be able to track the academic
progress of McNair participants from one academic year to the next, this
performance report needs to follow the 12-month academic year of the
grantee institution instead of the 12-month budget/project year for the
grant. For example, the 2006-2007 academic year is roughly
August/September 2006 through August 2007 while the budget/project year
for most McNair grants is October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2007.
**To ensure consistency in data reporting, please provide information on
a participant's status (field #16), college grade level (field #18) and
enrollment status (field #19) based on the "academic year" not the
project's budget/project year.** [For this report, the academic year
being reported is from the fall 2006 term through the end of the summer
term 2007.]{.underline} For example, a McNair student served for the
first time by the project during the fall 2006 semester should be
reported as a "new participant" in field #16. That same student's
college grade level (field #18) would reflect the student's grade level
as of the end of the academic year being reported, and the enrollment
status (field #19) would be "enrolled", since the student was enrolled
at least one term during the academic year.

**Instructions for Completing the Date Fields (Fields #8, #14, #15, and
#22)**

Please follow carefully the instructions provided on the form. Review
carefully the Valid Field Content column to ensure that the data
submitted are in the correct format. It is extremely important that all
date fields be 8 bytes and formatted as follows: 2 digits for month; 2
digits for day; two digits for century; and 2 digits for year. For
example, a participant's birth date of January 1, 1982 would be
formatted as follows: 01011982. Always use the zero before one-digit
months and days. If you are preparing Section II using Microsoft Excel
or Access, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions for additional
guidance on formatting to ensure that your dates will import correctly.

Please make every effort to provide accurate dates. If you find it
necessary to estimate a date, please do not enter "00s." Rather, use 15
for the day and your best estimate for the month. [If date is unknown,
please enter 00000000]{.underline}

### [Supplemental Definitions and Instructions for Specific Fields]{.smallcaps}

**Field #1---PR Award Number**

A grantee should use the PR Award Number applicable to the project
(budget) period covered by this report. This number can be found in
Block 5 of the Grant Award Notification. [Be sure that you use the PR
Award Number applicable to the reporting year]{.underline} even if you
have been awarded a new grant and PR/Award Number for the next reporting
period.

Please note that the PR Award Number is eleven (11) digits in length.
Please be sure you use "zeros" instead "Os" when entering the PR/Award
Number into your database.

**Field #2---Batch Year**

Use the four-digit year provided on the form. This number will change
with each year's submission. The Batch Year designates the fiscal year
funding for the project period reported. TRIO grants are forward-funded.
Therefore, as an example, fiscal year 2006 funds would be used to
support project activities in the 2006-2007 program year. Thus, the data
file for Batch Year 2006 would include information on project
participants served or tracked during academic year 2006-2007.

### Field #3---Record Updated 

This field assists us in quickly identifying whether or not you have
been successful in tracking the academic progress of prior participants
for this reporting period. For new participant records added to the data
file for this reporting period, select "1" for "Yes." For prior year
participants, select "1" for "Yes" if you have updated and/or verified
*at least part of* the applicable data fields for this reporting period
based on information received from the student (or the postsecondary
institution); select "2" for "No" if you have not received updated
information for the reporting year. If option 2 is used, please use the
code for "unknown/no response" in fields #18, #19, and #20.

**Field #4---Social Security Number (SSN)**

SSNs are very important as they assist the Department in tracking
participant outcomes over multiple years and facilitate matching of
participant records with other databases. If a project does not know a
student's SSN, please enter 000000000 rather than providing other forms
of identification numbers.

### Field #10---Race /Ethnicity

The race/ethnicity categories used in this section are consistent with
the Department's policy on the collection of racial and ethnic
information. These categories are defined as follows: **American Indian
or Alaska Native** - A person having origins in any of the original
peoples of North America, and who maintains cultural identification
through tribal affiliations or community recognition. **Asian** - A
person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East,
Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. This area includes, for
example, China, India, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines.

**Black or African American** - A person having origins in any of the
black racial groups of Africa. **Hispanic or Latino** - A person of
Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish
culture or origin, regardless of race. **White** - A person having
origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the
Middle East. **Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander** -- A person
having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii or other pacific
islands such as Samoa and Guam. For those participants of a multi-racial
background, select option "7 -**More than one race reported**."

### Fields #11, 12, and 13---Program Eligibility

The statute and regulations governing the McNair Program require that an
eligible project participant must be a "low-income individual who is a
first-generation college student" or a "member of a group that is
underrepresented in graduate education" (definitions are provided
below). [At least two-thirds of project participants each year must be
both low-income and first-generation college students; the remaining
participants can be members of groups underrepresented in graduate
education]{.underline}.

Three fields allow for the analysis of project participants by all
combinations of eligibility status: low-income and first-generation and
underrepresented racial/ethnic group. If you do not collect income and
first-generation data on participants who qualify for services as
members of groups underrepresented in graduate education, please select
option "0 -- Unknown/no response" for fields #11 and #12.

> [Low-income individual]{.underline} means an individual whose family's
> taxable income did not exceed 150 percent of the poverty level amount
> in the calendar year preceding the year in which the individual
> initially participated in the project. The poverty level amount is
> determined using criteria of poverty established by the Bureau of the
> Census of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
>
> [First-generation college student]{.underline} means (1) an individual
> neither of whose natural or adoptive parents received a baccalaureate
> degree; or (2) an individual who, prior to the age of 18, regularly
> resided with and received support from only one parent and whose
> supporting parent did not receive a baccalaureate degree; or (3) an
> individual who, prior to the age of 18, did not regularly reside with
> or receive support from a natural or adoptive parent.
>
> [Groups underrepresented in graduate education]{.underline} currently
> include the following ethnic and racial groups: Black (non-Hispanic),
> Hispanic, and American Indian/Alaskan Native. *(Note: The Secretary
> has determined as a policy issue that Native Hawaiians and other
> Pacific Islanders may be included in this definition.)*

**Field #14---First School Enrollment Date**

The "first school enrollment date" is the date the McNair participant
first enrolled in a program of postsecondary education. Provide this
information for all students served by the McNair project even if the
student did not begin or is not currently enrolled at your institution.
The purpose of this data field is to determine the length of time from
initial enrollment in postsecondary education through undergraduate,
graduate, and doctoral degree completion.

**Field #16---Participant Status**

For this field, please use the following definitions:

A **new participant** is an individual who was served by the McNair
project for the **first time** during the academic year being reported.

A **continuing participant** is an individual who was served by the
project for the first time in another academic year and also received
project services during the academic year being reported. [Do not count
as continuing participants, individuals for whom the main contact from
the project during this academic period was for tracking purposes; these
individuals should be designated as prior year
participants]{.underline}.

**Note:** The sum of the number of new and continuing participants
should equal the total number of participants the projects served during
the reporting period.

### A prior year participant is one who received project services in a previous academic year but who did not receive services on a continual basis during the academic year being reported.

### Field #18---College Grade Level (at end or spring/summer term)

Field #18 allows for the classification of the student's college grade
level at the end of the spring/summer term. For undergraduate students
who received project services, graduated, and enrolled in graduate
school during the reporting period (e.g., student was an undergraduate
during the 2006 fall semester, graduated at the end of the fall semester
and enrolled in graduate school for the spring 2007 semester), please
select option "7 -- 1^st^ year graduate/professional (received program
services as undergraduate during the reporting period)." Please select
option "13 -- Other" for students who are working on a second bachelor's
or second master's degree. Also select option "13 -- Other" for students
who have earned a bachelor's degree and are doing postbaccalaureate work
but have not yet enrolled in a graduate program. This category also
includes those participants in their fifth/final year of a 5-year
combined undergraduate/Master's degree program.

**Fields #19 and 20---Enrollment Status and Reason Not Enrolled**

Field #19 allows projects to report whether or not the participant was
enrolled in postsecondary education for at least one term during the
reporting period.

Field #20, "Reason Not Enrolled," allows projects to document the reason
the student was not enrolled during the academic year being reported
(see Field #19 for definition of "not enrolled"). Use option #12 to
report on individuals who consider their education completed and don't
plan to enroll in a doctoral program. Use option #13 to report on
individuals who were not enrolled in the reporting year because the
individual had attained a doctoral (Ph.D., Ed.D, etc.) or first
professional degree (JD, MD, DDS, etc.) prior to the current reporting
year (2006-07), **[AND]{.underline}** the same degree had not been
previously reported

# Fields #21, 22, and 23---Highest Degree Earned, Date, and Major Field of Study

Field #21 reflects the degree attainment information of participants.
Select the one-digit degree code that indicates the highest degree the
participant has earned as of the end of the academic year being
reported. If no Bachelor's degree has been earned, use option "6",
otherwise please report the highest degree each participant has earned.
If the participant earned a degree in the academic year being reported,
update this field appropriately. If the participant has earned more than
one degree, report only the highest degree obtained.

Field #22, Date of Highest Degree, tracks changes in student's status
relative to degree attainment. Use "99999999--No Bachelor's degree
earned yet" for participants that have not yet completed a baccalaureate
degree. Use "00000000---Unknown/no response" if you do not know the date
of highest degree earned or if the data are not available for prior year
participants.

Field #23, Major/field of graduate study, allows for reporting of the
precise major or field of study the McNair participant undertakes in
graduate school (a listing and breakdown of fields of graduate study are
provided below). This field is only for graduate students who are
enrolled. For all other students use option "13 - Not Applicable."

### Fields #24 and 25---Grade Point Average (GPA)

Field #24, GPA Scale, allows for accurate GPA reporting whether on a 4.0
or 5.0 grading scale. Field #25, Cumulative GPA, collects information on
a student's academic performance at the time of the attainment of the
bachelor's degree. The data in this field should reflect the cumulative
GPA of the participant upon [graduation with a bachelor's degree
only]{.underline}. Do not provide any other GPA in this field.

### Fields #26 -- 39---Program Services

Complete these fields only for those project participants who received
services from the McNair project during the academic year being
reported. **For prior year participants, select 2 for "No."**

These fields allow for the collection of information on the types of
services the McNair project most commonly provides to active
participants while they are in the project. No one project will choose
to offer all of the listed services. A student may or may not receive
each of the activities/services listed during the reporting year and
should be coded accordingly. Be sure to accurately record individual
student information regarding the services received or provided by your
project to that individual. [Report only on the services the student
received from the project during the academic year being
reported]{.underline}.

[Research]{.underline} refers to any unpaid research activities
participants engaged in or research activities that were paid from
non-McNair sources.

[McNair internships]{.underline} refer only to those activities for
which the legislated stipend of up to \$2,800 was paid to students who
participated in research activities.

[Seminars/workshops]{.underline} means group activities that provide
participants with the opportunity to receive information or practice
methodology in one or more areas necessary for the successful navigation
of the educational system relative to the attainment/completion of their
doctoral studies.

[Tutoring]{.underline} means individual or small group tutoring provided
by a graduate student or a professional staff person.

### Field #40---Eligibility (for determining program eligibility)

Field #40 -- Eligibility will provide grantees with the means to report
the exact eligibility criterion which was used to select a student for
program participation and will also provide the Department with
information to document that the two-thirds low-income, first generation
and one third underrepresented students requirement is being adhered to
by individual grantees.

.

### Field #41---Project Participation

Field #41- Project Participation will provide grantees with the means to
report whether the student was active in the project during the academic
year only, the summer component only or a combination of both. This will
allow the Department to determine the level or degree of student
participation during the reporting period and will help eliminate double
reporting of students. This field should be reported for new and
continuing students only---select option "9" for prior year
participants.

### Field \# 42---Funding Source

Field \# 42 -- Funding Source will provide grantees with the means to
report the funding source(s) used to support the activities afforded to
individual students under the McNair program. It will also clarify why
the actual student service number reported for some projects exceeds the
Department's approved student service number of official record.

### 

### Field \# 43---Tracking Completed

Field #43, Tracking Completed, provides grantees with the means to
report whether the student has (1) obtained the doctoral degree (Ph.D.,
Ed.D., etc.) or a first professional degree (JD, MD, DDS, etc.), (2) has
not enrolled in graduate or undergraduate studies for at least one term
in the last five years, or (3) has been out of contact for a period of
five or more years. Once a participant meets one of the above
conditions, the grantee is not required to include the participant
record in subsequent performance report submissions.

### Field #44---Special Circumstances

Field #44, Special Circumstances (a 254 byte text box), provides
grantees an opportunity to explain any special conditions that may have
affected its ability to successfully or accurately report all or some of
the student data requested.

**SECTION III: PRIOR EXPERIENCE**

This section of the annual performance report is designed to
specifically collect information on the achievement of the core
objectives as contained in 34 CFR 647.22. This section of the annual
performance report is your opportunity to indicate how successfully your
project has been in implementing the goals and objectives outlined in
the prior experience criteria. You must provide information in both
percentage and number on the level of accomplishment for your project
for each item under the prior experience criteria.

The information provided will be used in the assessment of your prior
experience score for this reporting year, so please be as accurate as
possible, **since no changes/addendums will be accepted after your
report is submitted and accepted.** If you did not implement one or more
of the objectives, the "Other" text box at the end of the form may be
used to discuss the reason(s). This text box may also be used to discuss
and update any other objectives/activities not specifically identified
in this section on which you would like to provide information.
