Abstract: Section 703 of the Higher 

Education Act of 1965, as amended, 

authorizes the Secretary to award 

fellowships under the Jacob K. Javits 

Fellowship Program for graduate study 

in the arts, humanities, and social 

sciences. The fellowships support 

graduate students of superior ability 

selected on the basis of demonstrated 

achievement, exceptional promise and 

financial need. This information 

collection provides the U.S. Department 

of Education with information needed 

to determine if fellows have made 

substantial progress toward meeting the

program staff to monitor and evaluate 

time-to-degree completion and the 

graduation rate of Javits fellows. 

Congress has mandated, through the 

Government Performance Results Act of 

1993, that the U.S. Department of 

Education provide documentation 

regarding the progress being made by 

the program.

Title of Collection: Race to the Top— 

District Annual Performance Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1894–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 21. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,113. 

Abstract: On May 22, 2012, the 

Secretary announced the Race to the 

Top District program, which is designed 

to build on the momentum of other Race 

to the Top competitions by encouraging 

bold, innovative reform at the local 

level. In FY 2012, the Department 

awarded approximately $383 million to 

16 Race to the Top District grantees 

representing 55 local educational 

agencies (LEAs), with grants ranging 

from $10 to $40 million. Applications 

for the FY 2013 competition are 

currently under peer review and the 

Department plans to make awards in 

December 2013 for a total of 

approximately $120 million. FY 2013 

grantees will utilize the same Annual 

Performance Report (APR) template as 

FY 2012 Race to the Top District 

grantees. 

In order to fulfill our responsibilities 

for programmatic oversight and public 

reporting, the Department has 

developed a Race to the Top District 

Annual Performance Report (APR) that 

is tied directly to the FY 2012 and FY 

2013 Race to the Top District selection 

criteria and priorities previously 

established and published in the 

Federal Register. The report is 

grounded in the key performance targets 

included in grantees approved Race to 

the Top District plans. Grantees will be 

required to report on their progress 

improving student outcomes and 

implementing personalized learning 

environments, including narrative 

sections on progress and key 

performance indicators. Each grantee 

district will submit a Race to the Top 

District APR on an annual basis. The 

first report for the 16 FY 2012 districts 

is anticipated to be collected during 

spring 2014 with FY 2013 grantees 

reporting for the first time in spring 

2015. Districts will submit the narrative 

elements and quantitative measures via 

an online data collection platform that 

will then be converted into a 

transparent public display.
