Abstract: The High School and 

Beyond Longitudinal Study of 2022 

(HS&B:22) is the sixth in a series of 

longitudinal studies at the high school 

level conducted by the National Center 

for Education Statistics (NCES), within 

the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) 

of the U.S. Department of Education. 

HS&B:22 is following a nationally 

representative sample of ninth grade 

students from the start of high school in 

the fall of 2022 to the spring of 2026 

when most will be in twelfth grade. The 

sample will be freshened in 2026 to 

create a nationally representative 

sample of twelfth-grade students. A high 

school transcript collection and 

additional follow-up data collections 

beyond high school are also planned. 

A field test was conducted in fall 

2019 and the first follow-up field test 

(F1FT) is planned for spring 2024 in 

preparation for the spring 2026 first 

follow-up full-scale study (F1FS). This 

submission is to request approval to 

conduct the HS&B:22 F1FT collection in 

the spring of 2024. OMB provided 

approval for F1FT sampling, tracking, 

and recruitment in March 2021 (OMB# 

1850–0944 v.9). 

Part A of this submission presents 

information on the basic design of 

HS&B:22. Part B discusses the statistical 

methods employed. Part C presents 

justification for the questionnaire 

content. Appendix A provides the 

communication materials to be used 

during state, school district, school, 

student, and parent F1FT recruitment 

and data collection activities. Appendix 

B provides the first follow-up field test 

data collection instruments.

1For the purpose of this competition, institutions 

included on the Office of Postsecondary 

Education’s FY 2024 Eligibility Matrix lists of Title 

III and Title V eligible institutions will be 

considered MSIs. For more information, see https:// 

www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/idues/ 

eligibility.html#el-inst. Institutions eligible only for 

the Department’s Title III Part A Strengthening 

Institutions Program (SIP) are not considered MSIs 

for the purposes of this competition unless they 

also meet the eligibility requirement for a specific 

MSI category. 

• An institution may not submit more 

than one application to the Predoctoral 

Training Program. 

• An institution may not submit an 

application to the Predoctoral Training 

Program if it received an FY 2020 

Predoctoral Training grant award. 

• An institution may submit multiple 

applications to the Methods Training 

Program so long as the applications are 

substantively different from one another 

and have no overlap in key personnel. 

For the programs that permit multiple 

applications under the conditions 

described above, if an institution 

submits multiple applications that 

violate any of those conditions, IES will 

determine whether and which 

applications will be accepted for review 

and/or will be eligible for funding. If 

you submit the same or similar 

application to IES and to another 

funding entity within or external to the 

Department and receive funding for the 

non-IES application prior to IES 

scientific peer review of applications, 

you must withdraw the same or similar 

application submitted to IES, or IES may 

otherwise determine you are ineligible 

to receive an award. If reviews are 

happening concurrently, IES staff will 

consult with the other potential funder 

to determine the degree of overlap and 

which entity will provide funding if 

both applications are being considered 

for funding.

that has been approved by the National 

Board for Education Sciences. The Peer 

Review Procedures for Grant 

Applications can be found on the IES 

website at Office of Science—Peer 

Review of Grant Applications (ed.gov). 

For the 84.305B competition, Early 

Career Development and Mentoring, 

peer reviewers will evaluate the 

significance of the application, the 

quality of the research plan, the quality 

of the career development plan, the 

qualifications and experience of the 

personnel, the resources of the applicant 

to support the proposed activities, and 

the quality of the engagement and 

dissemination plan. These criteria are 

described in greater detail in the RFA. 

For the other training topics competed 

in this notice, peer reviewers will 

evaluate the significance of the 

application, the quality of the research 

training plan, the qualifications and 

experience of the personnel, the 

resources of the applicant to support the 

proposed activities, and the quality of 

the engagement and dissemination plan. 

These criteria are described in greater 

detail in the RFA. 

2. Review and Selection Process: We 

remind potential applicants that in 

reviewing applications in any 

discretionary grant competition, IES 

may consider, under 34 CFR 

75.217(d)(3), the past performance of the 

applicant in carrying out a previous 

award, such as the applicant’s use of 

funds, achievement of project 

objectives, compliance with the IES 

policy regarding public access to 

research, and compliance with grant 

conditions. IES may also consider 

whether the applicant failed to submit 

a timely performance report or 

submitted a report of unacceptable 

quality. 

In addition, in making a competitive 

grant award, IES requires various 

assurances 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). Also, 

IES requires all key personnel on a grant 

award to have a persistent identifier, 

such as ORCID iD (Open Researcher and 

Contributor Identification; https://

orcid.org/) in place before an award will 

be made. 

3. Risk Assessment and Specific 

Conditions: Consistent with 2 CFR 

200.206, before awarding grants under 

this competition, the Department 

conducts a review of the risks posed by 

applicants. Under 2 CFR 200.208, IES 

may impose specific conditions and, 

under 2 CFR 3474.10, in appropriate 

circumstances, high-risk conditions on a 

grant if the applicant or grantee is not 

financially stable; has a history of 

unsatisfactory performance; has a 

financial or other management system 

that does not meet the standards in 2 

CFR part 200, subpart D; has not 

fulfilled the conditions of a prior grant; 

or is otherwise not responsible. 

4. Integrity and Performance System: 

If you are selected under this 

competition to receive an award that 

over the course of the project period 

may exceed the simplified acquisition 

threshold (currently $250,000), under 2 

CFR 200.206(a)(2) we must make a 

judgment about your integrity, business 

ethics, and record of performance under 

Federal awards—that is, the risk posed 

by you as an applicant—before we make 

an award. In doing so, we must consider 

any information about you that is in the 

integrity and performance system 

(currently referred to as the Federal 

Awardee Performance and Integrity 

Information System (FAPIIS)), 

accessible through the System for 

Award Management. You may review 

and comment on any information about 

yourself that a Federal agency 

previously entered and that is currently 

in FAPIIS. 

Please note that, if the total value of 

your currently active grants, cooperative 

agreements, and procurement contracts 

from the Federal Government exceeds 

$10,000,000, the reporting requirements 

in 2 CFR part 200, Appendix XII, 

require you to report certain integrity 

information to FAPIIS semiannually. 

Please review the requirements in 2 CFR 

part 200, Appendix XII, if this grant 

plus all the other Federal funds you 

receive exceed $10,000,000. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

1. Award Notices: If your application 

is successful, we notify your U.S. 

Representative and U.S. Senators and 

send you a Grant Award Notification 

(GAN); or we may send you an email 

containing a link to access an electronic 

version of your GAN. We also may 

notify you informally. 

If your application is not evaluated or 

not selected for funding, we notify you. 

2. 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. Grant Administration: Applicants 

should budget for an annual meeting of 

up to three days for project directors to 

be held in Washington, DC. 

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

grant under a competition announced in 

this notice, 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 IES. If you receive a 

multiyear award, you must submit an 

annual performance report that provides 

the most current performance and 

financial expenditure information as 

directed by IES under 34 CFR 75.118. 

IES 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. 

5. Performance Measures: To evaluate 

the overall success of its education 

research grant programs, IES annually 

assesses the percentage of projects that 

result in peer-reviewed publications and 

the number of IES-supported 

interventions with evidence of efficacy 

in improving learner education 

outcomes. School readiness outcomes 

include pre-reading, reading, prewriting, early mathematics, early 

science, and social-emotional skills that 

prepare young children for school. 

Student academic outcomes include 

learning and achievement in academic 

content areas, such as reading, writing, 

math, and science, as well as outcomes 

that reflect students’ successful 

progression through the education 

system, such as course and grade 

completion; high school graduation; and 

postsecondary enrollment, progress, and 

completion. Social and behavioral 

competencies include social and 

emotional skills, attitudes, and 

behaviors that are important to 

academic and post-academic success. 

Employment and earnings outcomes 

include hours of employment, job 

stability, and wages and benefits, and 

may be measured in addition to student 

academic outcomes. 

6. Continuation Awards: In making a 

continuation award under 34 CFR 

75.253, IES 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; 

whether a grantee is in compliance with 

the IES policy regarding public access to 

research; and if IES has established 

performance measurement 

requirements, whether the grantee has 

made substantial progress in achieving 

the performance targets in the grantee’s 

approved application. 

In making a continuation award, IES 

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).
