American Overseas Research Centers 

program provides grants to consortia of 

United States institutions of higher 

education to establish or operate 

overseas research centers that promote 

postgraduate research, exchanges, and 

area studies. The Department will use 

the following measures to evaluate the 

extent to which the overseas research 

centers are successful in meeting the 

program objective: 

AORC Performance Measure: 

Percentage of AORC participants 

employed in jobs where they utilize 

their language and/or area or 

international studies training. 

AORC Performance Measure:

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
