(GPRA) performance measures for the Ready-to-Learn program:

• The percentage of summative experimental or quasi-experimental research studies that demonstrate positive and statistically significant gains in science or literacy skills when Ready-to-Learn transmedia propertiesare compared to similar non-Ready-toLearn-funded digital properties or to other more traditional educational materials.

• The number of children who annually use Ready-to-Learn produced educational media products, disaggregated by individual product, as determined by appropriate industry standard metrics or, when available, by tracking tools.

• The percentage of educational ‘‘transmedia products,’’ along with necessary supporting materials, that are deemed to be of high quality in promoting learning of science or literacy by an independent panel of expert reviewers.

Note: The Department will convene expert panels annually to review grantee-produced products. Applicants should include in their budgets funds for two individuals each year to spend two days in Washington, DC to attend these panel meetings and to demonstrate the identified products to reviewers.

The fourth performance measure for Ready-to-Learn is a program efficiency

measure:

• Dollars leveraged from non-Federal sources per Federal dollar dedicated to core non-outreach and non-research program activities.

5. Continuation Awards: In making a continuation award under 34 CFR 75.253, the Secretary considers, among other things: Whether a grantee has made substantial progress in achieving the goals and objectives of the project; whether the grantee has expended funds in a manner that is consistent with its approved application and budget; and, if the Secretary has established performance measurement requirements, the performance targets in the grantee’s approved application. In making a continuation grant, the Secretary also considers whether the grantee is operating in compliance with the assurances in its approved application, including those applicable to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance from the Department (34 CFR 100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).
