If your application is not evaluated or 

not selected for funding, we notify you. 

2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements: We identify 

administrative and national policy 

requirements in the application package 

and reference these and other 

requirements in the Applicable 

Regulations section of this notice. 

We reference the regulations outlining 

the terms and conditions of an award in 

the Applicable Regulations section of 

this notice and include these and other 

specific conditions in the GAN. The 

GAN also incorporates your approved 

application as part of your binding 

commitments under the grant. 

3. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a 

grant under this competition, you must 

ensure that you have in place the 

necessary processes and systems to 

comply with the reporting requirements 

in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive 

funding under the competition. This 

does not apply if you have an exception 

under 2 CFR 170.110(b). 

(b) At the end of your project period, 

you must submit a final performance 

report, including financial information, 

as directed by the Secretary. If you 

receive a multi-year award, you must 

submit an annual performance report 

that provides the most current 

performance and financial expenditure 

information as directed by the Secretary 

under 34 CFR 75.118 and 34 CFR 

607.31. The Secretary may also require 

more frequent performance reports 

under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific 

requirements on reporting, please go to 

www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/ 

appforms/appforms.html. 

4. Performance Measures: The 

Secretary has established the following 

key performance measures for assessing 

the effectiveness of the Strengthening 

Institutions Program: 

a. The percentage change, over the 5- 

year period, of the number of full-time 

degree-seeking undergraduates enrolled 

at SIP institutions. Note that this is a 

long-term measure, which will be used 

to periodically gauge performance; 

b. The percentage of first-time, fulltime degree-seeking undergraduate 

students at 4-year SIP institutions who 

were in their first year of postsecondary 

enrollment in the previous year and are 

enrolled in the current year at the same 

SIP institution; 

c. The percentage of first-time, fulltime degree-seeking undergraduate 

students at 2-year SIP institutions who 

were in their first year of postsecondary 

enrollment in the previous year and are 

enrolled in the current year at the same 

SIP institution; 

d. The percentage of first-time, fulltime degree-seeking undergraduate 

students enrolled at 4-year SIP 

institutions graduating within 6 years of 

enrollment; and 

e. The percentage of first-time, fulltime degree-seeking undergraduate 

students enrolled at 2-year SIP 

institutions graduating within 3 years of 

enrollment. 

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).
