Abstract: Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS) is a
system of surveys designed to collect
basic data from approximately 7,000
Title IV postsecondary institutions in
the United States and other
jurisdictions. The IPEDS provides
information on numbers of students
enrolled, degrees completed, other
awards earned, dollars expended, staff
employed at postsecondary institutions,
and cost and pricing information. The
amendments to the Higher Education
Act of 1998, Part C, Sec. 131, specify the
need for the ‘‘redesign of relevant data
systems to improve the usefulness and
timeliness of the data collected by such
systems.’’ As a consequence, in 2000
IPEDS began to collect data through a
web-based data collection system. The
data collection is now entirely webbased, and is required for those
institutions participating in Title IV
federal student aid programs; other
institutions participate on a voluntary
basis. IPEDS data are available to the

public through the College Navigator
and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. This
clearance package seeks authorization
from OMB to continue IPEDS data
collection through 2014, describes
revisions to the currently approved
(2010–11) IPEDS burden estimates, and
includes a number of proposed changes
to the data collection.

reports for IES discretionary grant
programs. Recipients of multi-year
discretionary grants must submit an
annual performance report for each year
funding has been approved in order to
receive a continuation award. The
annual performance report should
demonstrate whether substantial
progress has been made toward meeting
the approved goals and objectives of the
project. The Institute also requires
recipients of ‘‘forward funded’’ grants
that are awarded funds for their entire
multi-year project up-front in a single
grant award to submit the RPPR on an
annual basis. In addition, the Institute
will require recipients to use the ED
524B to submit their final performance
reports to demonstrate project success,
impact and outcomes. In both the
annual and final performance reports,
grantees are required to provide data on
established performance measures for
the grant program (e.g., Government
Performance and Results Act measures)
and on project performance measures
that were included in the grantee’s
approved grant application. The RPPR
will contain research and related (total
federal and non-federal) budgetary
forms that will be used to collect
budgetary data from the recipient
organization. The information submitted
will be used to conduct periodic
administrative/budgetary reviews.
Performance reporting requirements are
found in 34 CFR 74.51, 75.118, 75.253,
