performance reports from currently 

funded NACTEP grantees. This 

information is necessary to (1) manage 

and monitor the current NACTEP 

grantees, and (2) award continuation 

grants for years four and five of the 

grantees’ performance periods. The 

continuation performance reports will 

include budgets, performance/statistical 

reports, Government Performance and 

Results Act (GPRA) reports, and

award continuation grants. Final 

performance reports are required to 

determine whether or not the grant can 

be closed out in compliance with the 

grant’s requirements.

is determined by a formula based on the 

reported number of American Indian/
