SECTION I, Part 2: Competitive Preference Priorities (If Applicable)

The 2012 UB and UBMS grant competitions established three competitive preference priorities 

concerning persistently lowest-achieving schools, data-based decision-making, and improvements 

in productivity. The Department will derive data for the first competitive preference, concerning 

projects’ service to persistently lowest-achieving schools, from the “Target School—NCES 

Identification Number” field (#26) in Section II, which provides identifying information on the 

target school attended by each participant. Below, please indicate whether your project addressed 

the remaining two competitive preference priorities. For each priority addressed, please complete 

the text boxes with concise information about implementation. 

Competitive Preference Priority #2: The Secretary encourages applicants to work with 

appropriate State agencies to use data from State longitudinal data systems or to obtain 

data from reliable third-party sources when providing information on the implementation 

of their UB/UBMS projects and their participants’ outcomes.

1A. Not applicable □

1B. Yes □

Competitive Preference Priority #3: The Secretary encourages applicants to design

participant while improving or keeping steady student outcomes.
