**Average success rate**

The unweighted average *success rate* for all the grants in a given category. The sum of the *successful outcomes* for all the grants in a given category is divided by the sum of the*actual GAANN fellows* for all the grants in a given category.

**Awarded GAANN fellows**

The number of fellowships the grantee committed to award when the proposal was funded either in 2000 or 2001.

**Institutional match percentage**

In order to receive a GAANN award, grantees are required to match at least 25% of the *total federal obligation* by acquiring additional funds from other sources. This is the actual percentage of matching funds that the grantee provided to match the federal obligation, as reported in the grantee's final performance report.

**Institution's name**

**PR Award number**

A unique identifier assigned to each grant application by the U.S. Department of Education. Grant numbers that appear as P200A00xxxx were awarded in 2000, and those that appear as P200A01xxxx were awarded in 2001.

**Program cost per successful outcome**

The average amount of federal funds and institutional matching funds required to achieve a successful outcome over the 3-4 years of the grant. The sum of the *total federal obligation* and institutional matching funds is divided by the number of *successful outcomes*.

**Size of institution**

The total number of men and women enrolled for credit in the fall of the 2004-05 academic year as reported by the institution in IPEDS variable: HD2004.These categories are based on the NCES Web-based College Opportunities On-Line (COOL) system. The five classifications are:

Very Large -- More than 20,000;Large -- between 10,000 and 20,000;Medium -- between 5,000 and 10,000;Small -- between 1,000 and 5,000; andVery Small -- Less than 1,000.

**Success rate**
