Regulations section of this notice. 

We reference the regulations outlining

commitments under the grant. 

3. Reporting: At the end of your

frequent performance reports under 34 

CFR 75.720(c). For specific

appforms/appforms.html. 

Note: NIDRR will provide information by 

letter to grantees on how and when to submit 

the final performance report. 

4. Performance Measures: To evaluate 

the overall success of its research 

program, NIDRR assesses the quality of 

its funded projects through a review of 

grantee performance and products. Each 

year, NIDRR examines a portion of its 

grantees to determine: 

• The percentage of NIDRR-supported 

fellows, post-doctoral trainees, and 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 78 / Friday, April 23, 2010 / Notices 21273 

doctoral students who publish results of 

NIDRR-sponsored research in refereed 

journals. 

• The number of accomplishments 

(e.g., new or improved tools, methods, 

discoveries, standards, interventions, 

programs, or devices) developed or 

tested with NIDRR funding that have 

been judged by expert panels to be of 

high quality and to advance the field. 

• The average number of publications 

per award based on NIDRR-funded 

research and development activities in 

refereed journals. 

• The percentage of new NIDRR 

grants that assess the effectiveness of 

interventions, programs, and devices 

using rigorous methods. 

• The number of new or improved 

NIDRR-funded assistive and universally 

designed technologies, products, and 

devices transferred to industry for 

potential commercialization. 

Each grantee must annually report on 

its performance through NIDRR’s

NIDRR uses APR information submitted 

by grantees to assess progress on these 

measures.
