• The percentage of new NIDRR 

grants that assess the effectiveness of 

interventions, programs, and devices 

using rigorous methods. 

For these reviews, NIDRR uses 

information submitted by grantees as 

part of their Annual Performance 

Reports. Department of Education 

program performance reports, which 

include information on NIDRR 

programs, are available on the 

Department’s Web site: www.ed.gov/

about/offices/list/opepd/sas/index.html. 

5. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award, the Secretary may 

consider, under 34 CFR 75.253, the 

extent to which a grantee has made 

‘‘substantial progress toward meeting 

the objectives in its approved 

application.’’ This consideration 

includes the review of a grantee’s 

progress in meeting the targets and 

projected outcomes in its approved 

application, and whether the grantee 

has expended funds in a manner that is 

consistent with its approved application 

and budget. In making a continuation 

grant, the Secretary also considers 

whether the grantee is operating in 

compliance with the assurances in its 

approved application, including those 

applicable to Federal civil rights laws 

that prohibit discrimination in programs 

or activities receiving Federal financial 

assistance from the Department (34 CFR 

100.4, 104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).
