Abstract: The purpose is to implement a data collection and review process for a new annual reporting for Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) purposes for the National Writing Project (NWP) program. These data are necessary to assess the performance of the NWP program in meeting its stated goals and objectives. The data collection will occur in phases over a 2-year period. Although all ED-grantees are required to provide performance data on an annual or periodic basis, the respondents for this data collection are participants in the NWP grant; therefore, their participation in the data collection is voluntary.
