  **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**. This program has a long-term target of 873,972 for FY
2009.  We will continue to report data annually, but there are no
intermediate annual targets. The target 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 5.1 percent, corresponding to an annual rate of 0.845 percent per
year. Therefore, the HSI program actual enrollment of 845,045 in FY 2005
was multiplied by 1.00845 per year to generate the long-term target of
873,972. 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**. 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.

**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 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. For FY 2006-2008, this is an
efficiency measure without targets.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

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

**Explanation**. The target for 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.
