August 1, 2015

Dear Colleague,

It is time to prepare the Indian Education Formula’s Annual Performance Report (APR) for 

School Year (SY) 2014-15 (July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015). This report is required for all grantees 

and is due by October 16, 2015. The APR should demonstrate whether grantees have made 

substantial progress toward meeting the project objectives and program performance 

measures, as well as give the Office of Indian Education (OIE) data to use for GPRA measures 

and Leading Indicators. The APR is submitted electronically through the Education Data 

Exchange Network (EDEN) Submission System at this link: https://eden.ed.gov/Survey. The APR 

will be located under tab EASIE Part III. 

Please use this document as a guide to assist you in completing information on your grant. The 

Getting Started and APR FAQs documents contain in depth information on how you will report 

data in the APR. You may find these documents on the Department of Education OIE Website: 

http://www2.ed.gov/programs/indianformula/resources.html and on the Getting Started 

Section of the EDEN website: https://eden.ed.gov/Survey.

APR Sections 

The APR consists of a cover sheet and four sections. You will enter program specific information 

on participation, performance, assessment and budget. Some information will be prepopulated from the EASIE application or information provided by EdFacts for assessment and 

graduation data. You can edit the assessment or graduation information provided by EdFacts.
