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

grant under this competition, you must
ensure that you have in place the
necessary processes and systems to
comply with the reporting requirements

(b) At the end of your project period,
you must submit a final performance
report, including financial information,
as directed by the Secretary. If you

4. Performance Measures: Under the

established a set of performance
measures, including long-term
measures, that are designed to yield
information on various aspects of the
effectiveness and quality of the
Technical Assistance and Dissemination
to Improve Services and Results for
Children With Disabilities program. For
purposes of this priority, the Center will
use these measures, which focus on the
extent to which projects provide highquality products and services, the
relevance of project products and
services to educational and early
intervention policy and practice, and
the use of products and services to
improve educational and early
intervention policy and practice.
Projects funded under this
competition are required to submit data
on these measures as directed by OSEP.

made substantial progress in achieving
the goals and objectives of the project;

if the Secretary has established
performance measurement
requirements, the performance targets in
the grantee’s approved application.
In making a continuation award, the
