Abstract: The purpose of the JKJ Fellowship Program is to award fellowships to eligible students of superior ability, selected on the basis of demonstrated achievement, financial need, and exceptional promise, to undertake graduate study in selected fields in the arts, humanities, and social sciences leading to a doctoral degree or to a master’s degree in those fields in which the master’s degree is the terminal highest degree awarded in the selected field of study at accredited institutions of higher education. Awards are made to institutions of higher education, who disburse funds to fellows. This Final Performance Report will be used by these institutions to report information on the fellowships administered during the four-year project period. Program staff have revised the Final Performance Report based on an analysis of respondent comments and an evaluation of the data provided by the report. Program staff believe that the revised report will improve the clarity of the document, reduce burden on respondents, and more effectively collect the data necessary to evaluate the projects’ performance and address updated GPRA requirements.

Short Statement: The reported changes in hour and cost burden to the respondent are the result of a recalculation of the number of grantee institutions submitting this report annually. Previously, burden hours were calculated based on the number of respondents equaling an estimate of the number of active grants (115). Recalculations based on an estimate of only those grantees who will actually be completing the Final Performance Report (20) resulted in a lower burden estimate. The reduction in cost to the U.S. Government result from the elimination of paperwork (such as printing, mailing, and logging in of hard copy reports), as the collection is now conducted electronically.
