4. Performance Measures: Under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA), the Department developed
the following performance measures to

CAMP participants who, after
completing the first academic year of
college, continue their postsecondary
education.
Applicants will need to address the
GPRA measures by establishing their
projects’targets on these measures in

and GPRA 2 measures for the five years
of this grant are: GPRA 1, a target of
86% is projected for all five years;
GPRA 2), a target between 84–86% is
projected for each of the five years. The
panel readers will score related
selection criteria on the basis of how
well an applicant addresses these GPRA
measures. Therefore, applicants will
want to consider how they will make

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 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

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 in
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: Under the Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA), the Department developed the following performance
measures to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the CAMP: (1) The
percentage of CAMP participants completing the first academic year of
their postsecondary program, and (2) the percentage of CAMP
participants who, after completing the first academic year of college,
continue their postsecondary education.
Applicants will need to address the GPRA measures by establishing
their projects'targets on these measures in their application. The CAMP
GPRA 1 and GPRA 2 measures for the five years of this grant are: GPRA
1, a target of 86% is projected for all five years; GPRA 2), a target
between 84-86% is projected for each of the five years. The panel
readers will score related selection criteria on the basis of how well
an applicant addresses these GPRA measures. Therefore, applicants will
want to consider how they will make demonstration of a sound capacity
to provide reliable data on GPRA measures, including the project's
