Ronald E McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement (McNair) Program
Instructions for Completing the 2023-24 Annual Performance Report (APR)

Background Information on the McNair APR

The Department of Education (Department) uses the information provided in the McNair Annual Performance report to assess a grantee’s progress in meeting its approved goals and objectives and to determine a grantee’s prior experience points in accordance with the program regulations (34 CFR 647). The following outline is provided to answer questions you may have about the APR submission. 

Who
    • All grantees funded under the McNair Program must submit an annual performance report as a condition of the grant award.

What
    • The APR consists of two sections: Section I gathers project information and Section II gathers detailed information on individual McNair participants as defined in 34 CFR 647.3.

    • The project and individual participant information provided in the report must cover the 12-month academic year of the grantee institution instead of the 12-month budget/project year for the grant.  For example, the 2023-24 academic year is roughly August/September 2023 through July/August 2024 while the budget/project year for most McNair grants is October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024.

    • The reporting requirements are as follows:

        ◦ Projects must retain participant records for a period of ten (10) years after the attainment of a bachelor’s degree.
        ◦ Projects must retain all of the participant records that were in the 2022-23 APR data file for a period of ten (10) years (excluding records with cohort years prior to 2013-14).  These records include participants who were served in 2022-23 as well as participants who were not served and have not yet attained a bachelor’s degree except as noted below.  Therefore, if you included a participant record on your 2022-23 APR data file (excluding records with cohort years prior to 2013-14), you must include the record on your 2023-25 APR data file.
        ◦ For each participant who you reported in your APR last year and who you will report in your APR this year, you must include the valid case number for this student in Field #3 of the student record file that you submit.  The valid case number can be found in the prior year match file (the “download file”).

The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 11.15 hours per response, including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather required data, and complete and review the information collection.

When:
    • The annual report is submitted within 90 days after the end of the 12-month budget period.

Where:
    • Because the APR requests personal and confidential information on project participants, the secured website meets the Department of Education’s data security standards for sensitive data, including password and site access procedures.  Further, to ensure that the data is accessible only to authorized individuals and protected from unauthorized uses, a grantee must submit the participant level data via the Web application; under no circumstances should a grantee transmit the data to the Department or the APR Help Desk via e-mail.  The Department of Education’s disclosure policies for data collected, such as personal identifiable information, adhere to the provisions of the Privacy Act - PL 95-379, 5 USC 552a; however, there is no guarantee of confidentiality given for grant required reports.
    • The link to the actual Web application will be available on [INSERT DATE] at the following Web address:  https://trio.ed.gov/.
    • Web application registration and features are provided below.

Why:
    • Title IV, Section 402E, of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (Public Law 102-325), the program regulations in 34 CFR Part 647; and sections 755.90, and 757.20 of the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) requires the collection of this information.

How:
    • By constructing a comma delimited (csv) or Excel (xls or xlsx) file that contains all of the individual participant information requested in Section II of the APR which is the Record Structure for Participants.  The file must mirror the order of the field name and the content of the database column name.
        ◦ Section I, Part 1—Project Identification/Characteristics Certification and Warning Statements
        ◦ Section I, Part 2—Project Services
        ◦ Section I, Part 3—Competitive Preference Priorities
        ◦ Section IIA Project Identifiers (pre-populated)
        ◦ Section IIB Participant’s Personal Information 
        ◦ Section IIC Participant’s Demographic Information 
        ◦ Section IID Participant’s Eligibility Status Information
        ◦ Section IIE Participant’s Enrollment Status Information
        ◦ Section IIF Participant’s Academic and Degree Status Information
        ◦ Section IIG Participant’s Research or Other Scholarly Activities Information
        ◦ Section IIH Participant’s Graduate School Status Information
        ◦ Section III Additional Participant Information

    • In the constructing your data file, all date fields must be formatted as follows:  2 digits for month; 2 digits for day; 4 digits for year.  Also, slashes must be used between the month, day and year (e.g., 09/01/2023).




New Login Requirements: 
New Federal security requirements have changed how project staff will be able to access Federal IT systems, including the McNair Annual Performance Report (APR) Data Collection System. As the project director for your McNair project, the Federal Government requires you have an account with Login.gov to access the TRIO APR Web Portal reporting system. Therefore, to use the TRIO APR Web Portal, you will need (1) an account in the reporting system related to your grant program, and (2) a username and password that you will create and maintain at Login.gov using the same email address linked to your G5 account.  

We have provided two guides (quick and detailed) that contain instructions on how to access the TRIO APR Web Portal.  To access these guides, please click here.

Friendly Reminder: Whenever you need to access the TRIO APR reporting system, you must always start at the TRIO APR Web Portal (i.e., https://trio.ed.gov); you should never go directly to the Login.gov site.


Web Features:
    • A Web form for completing Sections I and II online.
    • Access to your 2022-23 McNair APR data file.  You can use this file to construct your 2023-24 APR data file and/or use it as a reference to ensure that all participants that should be on the 2023-24 APR data file are included.  You will need to use this file to obtain the valid case number for participant records.
    • Functionality to upload a file with the individual participant records (Section II) to the Web application using a comma delimited (csv) or EXCEL (xls, xlsx) file format.
    • Functionality to download a file of the individual participant records (Section II).
    • Functionality to transfer last year’s data.
    • Functionality to view/delete/add participant data online.
    • New functionality to digitally certify the APR data (Project Director and Certifying Official).
    • Online data field validations and error checks.  For a grantee to be able to submit the APR successfully, all the sections of the APR must pass data field validations.  Additionally, student case numbers will be validated through comparison with records from the prior year submission.
    • A print button to generate a hard copy of the information entered online for Sections I and II (does not include the actual student record).
    • A submit button to send the entire report to the Department.
    • E-mails notifying the Project Director and Certifying Official of digital signature requirements.
    • An e-mail confirmation that notifies projects that the report has been submitted successfully including all required digital signatures.

You cannot update means you cannot change the response you provided in the previous reporting period.

You should not have to update means that once you provide a response, you should not need to update the field unless the response was incorrect or the response in a previous reporting period was “Unknown,” but you now have new information.

You may update means that you may have to update the information if the status of the participant has changed.  For example, if in a previous reporting period you indicated the participant was “Enrolled” (i.e., field 23, option 1) but in this reporting period the participant is no longer enrolled, you need to update the response from “Enrolled” to “Not Enrolled.”

Definitions That Apply

Bachelor’s Degree:
    • Equivalent of a bachelor’s degree means any McNair participant who completed their undergraduate studies but did not earn a baccalaureate degree because their institution does not confer baccalaureate degrees until the student is enrolled in a graduate program or has completed their graduate studies.
    • Graduating Cohort Year of Bachelor’s Degree means the year in which the participant earned their bachelor’s degree.

Benchmark means a standard, or a set of standards, used as a point of reference for evaluating performance or level of quality.

Current Participant means a participant who was served by the project in the reporting period  (Note: The sum of new and continuing participants should equal the total number of participants served during the 2023-24 reporting period).

Eligibility Status:
    • Low-income individual means: an individual whose family’s taxable income did not exceed 150 percent of the poverty level amount in the calendar year preceding the year in which the individual initially participated in the project. The poverty level amount is determined using criteria of poverty established by the Bureau of the Census of the US Department of Commerce.
    • First-generation college student means: (1) an individual neither of whose natural or adoptive parents received a baccalaureate degree; or (2) an individual who, prior to the age of 18, regularly resided with and received support from only one parent and whose supporting parent did not receive a baccalaureate degree; or (3) an individual who, prior to the age of 18, did not regularly reside with or receive support from a natural or adoptive parent.
    • Underrepresented group in graduate education means: (1) an individual who is a member of one (or more) of the following ethnic and racial groups: Black, Hispanic, American Indian, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiians and Native American Pacific Islanders;  (2) an individual is a member of a group that is underrepresented in certain academic disciplines as documented by standard statistical references or other national survey data submitted to and accepted by the Secretary on a case-by-case basis.

Enrollment Status:
    • Enrolled is defined as a student who was enrolled in postsecondary education at least one term in the academic year being reported.
    • Not enrolled is defined as a student who did not complete any of the terms in the academic year being reported.

Ethnicity: determines whether a person is of Hispanic origin or not.  For this reason, ethnicity is broken out in two categories, Hispanic or Latino and Not Hispanic or Latino. When grantees report an individual as “Hispanic or Latino,” they should also, in separate fields, report a racial classification for the same individual.

    • Hispanic or Latino – means a person of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.

Graduate education is defined as “studies beyond the bachelor's degree leading to a postbaccalaureate degree.” 

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is the primary source for data on colleges, universities, and technical and vocational postsecondary institutions in the United States.

Participant Status:
    • A new participant is an eligible individual who was served by the project for the first time in the reporting period.
    • A continuing participant is an individual who was served by the project for the first time in any prior reporting period and also received services in this reporting period.
    • A prior year is an individual served by the project in any prior reporting period but did not receive services in this reporting period.
    • A prior-year participant who is deceased is an individual served by the project in any prior reporting period but is now deceased.

For example, if the activity does not have a definitive start and end date, then the activity is not considered research or other scholarly activities (including McNair research internships).

    1. Was the educational activity more rigorous than is typically available to undergraduates in a classroom setting?
    2. Was the educational activity definitive in its start and end dates?
    3. Did the educational activity contain appropriate benchmarks for completion of various components?  AND
    4. Was the educational activity conducted under the guidance of an appropriate faculty member with experience in the relevant discipline?

Field 32—Select the participant’s research activity completion status in this reporting period.
Field 33—Select the participant’s other scholarly activity completion status in this reporting period.
Field 34—Select the participant’s McNair research internship activity completion status in this reporting period.

Field 39—Select the participant’s graduate school persistence status at the beginning of the 2024-25 academic year (i.e., fall 2024) for participants who were first-year graduate students in this [2023-24] reporting period.  Hint:  Typically, in order for the participant to be a first-year graduate in 2023-24, the participant should have first enrolled in graduate school between August 1, 2023, and July 31, 2024.
Field 40—Select the participant’s graduate year of study for participants who are enrolled in graduate school in this [2023-24] reporting period.  Please refer to the APR form for additional instructions.
Field 41—Using the Main Field of Study list located at the end of this document; enter the two-digit code for the main field of study at the time of entry into graduate school.  .  Only use the codes from the list.  For students who are no longer enrolled in graduate school or for students who completed their graduate studies, the project should provide, to the extent possible, the main field of study at the time the participant first entered graduate school.
Field 42—Select the type of assistantship the first-year graduate participant received in this reporting period.
Field 43—Select the reason the participant left graduate school.  Please refer to the APR form for additional instructions.
Field 44—Select the highest degree earned by the end of the academic year. Once reported, do not change the degree unless a more advanced degree was earned.  Select option 4 only if the “other” doctorate degree was in a research-intensive program.  Select option 5 if the doctorate degree was in a non-research-intensive program.  If a participant earned a professional degree but subsequently earns a research-intensive doctorate, select the type of doctorate earned (e.g., PhD). Once the research-intensive doctorate degree has been provided (i.e., option 2, 3, or 4), do not change the response in subsequent reporting periods.
Field 45—Enter the date of the highest degree earned.  Once the research-intensive doctorate degree date has been provided (i.e., option 2, 3, or 4); do not change the date in subsequent reporting periods.
Field 46—If you selected option 2, 3, or 4  in field 44, enter the six-digit postsecondary institution NCES IPEDS ID.  If you selected option 1, 5, or 6, in field 44, enter 999999. You can obtain the IPEDS ID from the following web site: (https://ncesedgov/collegenavigator/). Do not enter the OPE ID.
Field 47—Select the primary employment activity for participants who have earned a research-intensive doctorate degree (i.e., field 44, option 2, 3, or 4).  In addition to a university setting, the primary employment can occur at organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), private industry, etc.  Once you report the doctorate recipient’s employment activity, do not update in subsequent reporting periods.
