  **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**. Persistence data first became available from IPEDS in
2003-04. Institutions report a persistence rate, not the numerator and
denominator. As a result, the persistence rate for the AN/NH
institutions is calculated as a median. The measure for 2003-04 is only
based on data for two institutions. The measure for 2006 is based on ten
institutions.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

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

**Explanation**. This measure is calculated as appropriation for the
Strengthening AN/NH Institutions program divided by the number of
undergraduate and graduate degrees awarded. The \$1,940 value for the
efficiency measure for 2003 reflects an appropriation of \$8,180,479
divided by 4,216 graduates. The \$2,532 value for 2004 reflects an
appropriation of \$10,935,100 divided by 4,318 graduates. The \$2,672
value for 2005 reflects an appropriation of \$11,904,000 divided by
4,455 graduates. For FY 2007-09, this is a measure without targets.
