Section 3: Grant Activities and Focus Area

In this section, we want to get a sense of what types of activities Title III or V is supporting at your institution. We want to know how those activities are helping to address the problems described in your grant application, and how they are improving academic quality, student services and outcomes, institutional management, and fiscal stability.

To begin, enter the total amount of Title III or V funds used during this reporting period to support your project. On the second line, please enter the total amount of Title III or V funds used during this reporting period to support the project management and evaluation of the entire project. The fourth line will be automatically generated to reflect the total costs dedicated to supporting grant activities. These fields must be filled in and greater than 0 before proceeding.

Section 3: Grant Activities and Focus Area

In this section, we want to get a sense of what types of activities Title III or V is supporting at your institution. We want to know how those activities are helping to address the problems described in your grant application, and how they are improving academic quality, student services and outcomes, institutional management, and fiscal stability


Line 1: Enter the title of the grant activity(ies) as related in your application and carried out during this reporting period. Please note that for the purposes of the annual report, endowment should be considered a separate activity even if it was not presented as a separate activity in your application. You will have the opportunity to enter additional grant application activities as necessary


Line 2: Enter the total amount of Title III or V funds used during this reporting period to support each grant activity. This total amount should include any costs associated with the management of the activity such as the appropriate percentage of key personnel salaries and benefits devoted to that activity.


Line 3: Select one of four focus areas Fiscal Stability, Institutional Management, Student Services and Outcomes, and Academic Quality for each activity. Refer to the definitions of the four focus areas for samples of activities that fall into each category. [The answer to this question will determine which Focus Area Outcomes table(s) that is filled out.]


Please keep in mind that these categories are meant to apply to the activity's overall outcome not the processes used to achieve that outcome. For example, you might have an activity to improve retention of science majors that is being carried out over the entire length of your grant. The ultimate outcome of this activity is a Student outcome and therefore would be categorized as "Student Services and Outcomes" even though you might have implemented various strategies or processes to achieve that goal during the reporting period, such as improved library collections, acquisition of teaching/lab equipment, and faculty development. You will have an opportunity to report on those processes later on in the process measure table.


Legislative Allowable Activities Table: In this table, we want to develop a profile of how program funds are distributed within the various Legislative Allowable Activities (LAA) categories. Please determine how much of the total funds used for the grant activity (Line 2) is distributed within the LAA categories and enter the dollar amount. Please note that you may have an activity that does not fall into one of the LAA categories - this is acceptable as long as that activity fulfills the goals of the legislation. In these cases you will be asked to provide a brief description of those activities in the "other" option. NOTE: The dollar amount entered in Line 2 for each grant activity should equal the sum of the dollar amounts distributed in the LAA categories.

Section 3: Focus Area Outcomes – Academic Quality

The following are institutional outcomes that can be categorized in the Academic Quality focus area. Please provide information on at least two of the measures that you feel are most reflective of your activities supported by Title III/V funds for the current reporting period. You have the option of entering your own unique outcome goals in the area marked “Other.”


You should indicate whether you achieved the related outcome during this reporting period. Remember, you are only required to select at least two outcomes. Many grantees might be in their first grant year and unable to report on any outcomes. If this is the case, you should indicate which goals you will report on next year.


In some instances, it might be necessary to provide a statement that supports your response. (Your supporting statement should be limited to 2 to 3 sentences.)


Row below each item: If you indicate that you have achieved a certain goal, please provide supporting data elements: the initial data point related to the outcome goal, the final data point related to the outcome goal, and the actual outcome goal at stated in your grant application. Note that certain intangible goals will require you to select an appropriate "rating" (e.g., poor, fair, good, excellent).
