as measured by—

secondary education, are in
postsecondary education or advanced
training, military service, or a service
program, or are employed.
(b) At the postsecondary level: An
increase in—

Jkt 253001
In addition to these measures,
applicants may propose project-specific
performance measures and performance
targets consistent with the objectives of
the proposed project. Examples of such
project-specific performance measures
could include student recruitment,
student participation in work-based
learning at the postsecondary level, and
teacher and faculty participation in
professional development.
Note: All grantees will be expected to
submit a semi-annual and an annual
performance report addressing these
performance measures, to the extent that
these performance measures apply to each
grantee’s NHCTEP project.
6. Continuation Awards: In making a
continuation award under 34 CFR
75.253, the Secretary considers, among
other things: Whether a grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
the goals and objectives of the project;
Whether the grantee has expended
funds in a manner that is consistent
with its approved application and
budget; and, if the Secretary has
established performance measurement
requirements, the performance targets in
the grantee’s approved application.
In making a continuation award, the
Secretary also considers whether the
grantee is operating in compliance with
the assurances in its approved
application, including those applicable
to Federal civil rights laws that prohibit
discrimination in programs or activities
receiving Federal financial assistance
from the Department (34 CFR 100.4,
104.5, 106.4, 108.8, and 110.23).
