terms of any licenses or other legal
restrictions on the use of pre-existing
works.
Additionally, a grantee or subgrantee
that is awarded competitive grant funds
must have a plan to disseminate these
public grant deliverables. This
dissemination plan can be developed
and submitted after your application has
been reviewed and selected for funding.
For additional information on the open
licensing requirements please refer to 2
CFR 3474.20.
4. Reporting: (a) If you apply for a
grant under this competition, you must
ensure that you have in place the
necessary processes and systems to
comply with the reporting requirements
in 2 CFR part 170 should you receive
funding under the competition. This
does not apply if you have an exception
under 2 CFR 170.110(b).
(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
receive a multiyear 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 www.ed.gov/
fund/grant/apply/appforms/
appforms.html.
5. Performance Measures: For the
purposes of Department reporting under
34 CFR 75.110, the Department has
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
Personnel Development to Improve
Services and Results for Children with
Disabilities program. These measures
include (1) the percentage of
preparation programs that incorporate
scientifically based research or EBPs
into their curricula; and (2) the
percentage of scholars completing the
preparation program who are
knowledgeable and skilled in EBPs that
improve outcomes for children with
disabilities.
The measures apply to projects
funded under this competition, and
grantees are required to submit data on
these measures as directed by the Office
of Special Education Programs.
Grantees will be required to report
information on their project’s
performance in annual and final
performance reports to the Department
(34 CFR 75.590).

The Department will also closely
monitor the extent to which the
products and services provided by the
project meet needs identified by
stakeholders and may require the
project to report on such alignment in
its annual and final performance
reports.
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, whether the grantee has
made substantial progress in achieving
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).

The Department is especially interested

(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
