Subject
Summary:

Congress set aside 1.7 billion for 88 discretionary grant programs in fiscal year 1999. In awarding this grant money to state and local education agencies, school districts, colleges and universities, and other organizations, the Department of Education relies on the results of peer reviews, in which a panel of experts evaluate the merit of grant applications. GAO found that the Department has corrected some past weaknesses that have plagued its peer review process, but others remain that could affect its actual or perceived fairness. The Department rarely analyzes peer reviewers' feedback, tracks peer reviewers' performance, or assesses the implications of variations in average scores among review panels. A greater effort in these areas could help the Department identify problems and improve its peer review process.
