Therefore, the Secretary will consider that an applicant has satisfied the ‘‘Need’’ criterion listed in 34 CFR 642.31(f) by applying for a grant under one of these priorities, and applicants are not required to address this criterion. The application package contains instructions on addressing the remaining selection criteria. event a tie still exists, the Secretary will select for funding the applicant that has the greatest capacity to provide training in all regions of the Nation in order to assure accessibility to the greatest number of prospective training participants, consistent with 34 CFR 642.33. 2. Review and Selection Process: A panel of non-Federal readers will review each application in accordance with the selection criteria, pursuant to 34 CFR 642.30(a). The individual scores of the readers will be added and the sum divided by the number of readers to determine the reader score received in the review process. In accordance with 34 CFR 642.32, the Secretary will award prior experience points to applicants that have conducted a Training Program project within the last three fiscal years, based on their documented experience. Prior experience points, if any, will be added to the application’s averaged reader score to determine the total score for each application. Under section 402A(c)(3) of the HEA, the Secretary is not required to make awards under the Training Program for Federal TRIO Programs in the order of the scores received by the application in the review process and adjusted for prior experience. For FY 2008, the Secretary will select an application for funding within each specific absolute priority for which a grant is requested in the order of the reader score received by the application in the review process, as follows: Under Priorities 1 and 2, within each specific priority, the Secretary will select an application for funding from among those applications that proposed to provide training designed specifically for staff working on projects funded under the Upward Bound Program only, in the order of the reader score received by the applications in the review process. The Secretary will also select an application for funding from among the applications that proposed to provide training for staff working on projects funded under TRIO Programs other than the Upward Bound Program in the order of the reader score received by the application in the review process. Under Priorities 3 and 4, within each specific priority, the Secretary will select an application for funding in the order of the reader score received by the application in the review process. Within each specific priority, if there are insufficient funds to fund all applications at the next reader score, the Secretary will use the reader score received by the application in the review process, adjusted for prior experience, to make awards. In the 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 Notice (GAN). We also may notify you informally; however, informal correspondence does not constitute an award notice or a binding funding decision. 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 in this notice. We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of an award in the Applicable Regulations section in 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 https://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/ appforms/appforms.html. 4. Performance Measures: The success of the Training Program is measured by its cost-effectiveness, based on the percentage of personnel working on TRIO funded projects who receive training each year, and by the percentage of those receiving training who rate the training as highly useful. All grantees will be required to submit an annual performance report documenting their success in training personnel working on TRIO funded projects, including the average cost per trainee and the trainees’ evaluations of the effectiveness of the training provided. The success of the Training Program also is assessed on the quantitative and qualitative outcomes of VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:25 Apr 21, 2008 Jkt 214001 PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the training projects based on project evaluation results.
