Abstract: This data collection serves three purposes for the Office of Special Education Program’s Personnel Development Program (PD). First, data from three sources (grantees, scholars, and employers) are necessary to assess the performance of the PDP on its Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) measures. Second, data from all three sources are necessary to determine if scholars comply with the service obligation requirements. And finally, project-specific performance data are collected from PDP grantees for project monitoring and program improvement. The forms in this package are updates to existing Office of Management and Budget approved forms (1820-0686) which expire on 5/31/2017.
