Submission of this information 

described in this note is voluntary, 

except where required by the selection 

criteria listed in the application 

package. 

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). We may notify you informally, 

also. 

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: 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. The 

Secretary may also require more 

frequent performance reports under 34 

CFR 75.720(c). For specific 

requirements on reporting, please go to 

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

appforms/appforms.html. 

Note: NIDRR will provide information by 

letter to grantees on how and when to submit 

the final performance report. 

4. Performance Measures: To evaluate 

the overall success of its research 

program, NIDRR assesses the quality of 

its funded projects through a review of 

grantee performance and products. Each 

year, NIDRR examines a portion of its 

grantees to determine: 

• The percentage of NIDRR-supported 

fellows, post-doctoral trainees, and 

doctoral students who publish results of 

NIDRR-sponsored research in refereed 

journals. 

• The number of accomplishments 

(e.g., new or improved tools, methods, 

discoveries, standards, interventions, 

programs, or devices) developed or 

tested with NIDRR funding that have 

been judged by expert panels to be of 

high quality and to advance the field. 

• The average number of publications 

per award based on NIDRR-funded 

research and development activities in 

refereed journals. 

• The percentage of new NIDRR 

grants that assess the effectiveness of 

interventions, programs, and devices 

using rigorous methods. 

• The number of new or improved 

NIDRR-funded assistive and universally 

designed technologies, products, and 

devices transferred to industry for 

potential commercialization. 

Each grantee must annually report its 

performance through NIDRR’s Annual 

Performance Report (APR) form. NIDRR 

uses APR information submitted by 

grantees to assess progress on these 

measures.
