Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 4 / Wednesday, January 7, 2015 / Notices 883 

Personnel in American Indian 

Vocational Rehabilitation Services 

Projects is to improve the knowledge 

and skills of such personnel so that they 

can provide appropriate, effective, and 

culturally relevant VR services to assist 

American Indians with disabilities 

prepare for, and engage in, gainful 

employment consistent with their 

informed choice. 

The cooperative agreement will 

specify the measures that will be used 

to assess the grantee’s performance 

against the goals and objectives of the 

project, including outcome measures 

and measures that reflect the quality, 

relevance, and usefulness of the training 

and TA products developed by the 

Institute. 

In its annual and final performance 

report to the Department, the grant 

recipient will be expected to report the 

data outlined in the cooperative 

agreement that is needed to assess its 

performance, including, at a minimum, 

the following information related to the 

performance measures for this project: 

• The number of participants enrolled 

in the Institute; 

• The number of participants who 

successfully completed the series of 

trainings provided by the Institute; and 

• The number of participants who 

obtained a VR certificate. 

The cooperative agreement and 

annual report will be reviewed by RSA 

and the grant recipient between the 

third and fourth quarter of each project 

period. Adjustments will be made to the 

project accordingly in order to ensure 

demonstrated progress towards meeting 

the goal and outcomes of the project. 

5. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, the Secretary considers, among 

other things: whether a grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the goals and objectives of the project; 

whether the grantee has expended funds 

in a manner that is consistent with its 

approved application and budget; and, 

if the Secretary has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, the performance targets in 

the grantee’s approved application. 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).
