Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate
Achievement (McNair) Program grantees must submit the Annual
Performance Report each year. The reports are used to evaluate
grantees' performance for substantial progress, respond to the
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), and award prior
experience points at the end of each project (budget) period. The
Department also aggregates the data to provide descriptive
information on the projects and to analyze the impact of the McNair
Program on the academic progress of participating
students.
This is a revision in that for
security and privacy reasons, the Department will no longer collect
Social Security numbers (SSNs) as part of the APR. The Department
has established unique identifiers (case numbers) to replace the
SSNs used in the past. Grantees are required to replace the
existing SSNs with the case numbers provided by the Department. No
burden updates based on the change. However, there is adjustment
burden hours increased due to the number of respondents increase
from 158 to 187 based on the number of grantees funded in the most
recent McNair competition for new awards.
