The percentage of grantees that reach their annual target number of students as specified in the application; 2 the percentage of grantees that reach their annual target number of high-need students as specified in the application;
3 the percentage of grantees with ongoing well-designed and independent evaluations that will provide evidence of their effectiveness at improving student outcomes in multiple contexts;
4 the percentage of grantees that implement an evaluation that provides information about the key practices and the approach of the project so as to facilitate replication; 5 the percentage of grantees that implement an evaluation that provides information on the cost-effectiveness of the key practices to identify potential obstacles and success factors to scaling; and 6
the cost per student served by the grant.
Cumulative performance measures:
1 The percentage of grantees that reach the targeted number of students specified in the application; 2 the percentage of grantees that reach the targeted number of high-need students specified in the application; 3 the percentage of grantees that implement a completed well-designed, wellimplemented, and independent evaluation that provides evidence of their effectiveness at improving student outcomes at scale; 4 the percentage of grantees with a completed welldesigned, well-implemented, and independent evaluation that provides information about the key elements and the approach of the project so as to facilitate replication or testing in other settings; 5 the percentage of grantees with a completed evaluation that provided information on the costeffectiveness of the key practices to identify potential obstacles and success factors to scaling; and 6 the cost per student served by the grant.

1 Performance measures. How each proposed performance measure would accurately measure the performance of the project and how the proposed performance measure would be consistent with the performance measures established for the program funding the competition.
2 Baseline as defined in this notice data. i Why each proposed baseline is valid; or ii if the applicant has determined that there are no established baseline data for a particular performance measure, an explanation of why there is no established baseline and of how and when, during the project period, the applicant would establish a valid baseline for the performance measure.
3 Performance targets. Why each proposed performance target is ambitious yet achievable compared to the baseline for the performance measure and when, during the project period, the applicant would meet the performance targets.
4 Data collection and reporting. i The data collection and reporting methods the applicant would use and why those methods are likely to yield reliable, valid, and meaningful performance data; and ii the applicants capacity to collect and report reliable, valid, and meaningful performance data, as evidenced by highquality data collection, analysis, and reporting in other projects or research.
