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).
