This document, in tabular form, is a summary, by state and project location of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title VII grant award totals for 1975. Data presented for each project includes: project location and name of local educational agency, Office of Education grant number, previous years in force, number of years negotiated,…

This report, the first of four phases of an ESEA Title III study of five Pennsylvania counties, is devoted primarily to research, an examination of the educational systems at local and county levels, an analysis of system requirements, and the completion of a PPB system design to be used by intermediate units in Pennsylvania. Statistical data and…

Presented here is a model developed at Santa Barbara City College (California) for assessing vocational and non-vocational program costs. The primary purpose of the project was to compare costs during 1971-72 for these two types of programs. On an institutional average, vocational instructional costs appeared to be higher than non-vocational,…

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a federally funded nutrition assistance program administered by the Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). Responding to Congressional requests for information regarding program costs, this report provides information on: (1) funding…

Costs involved in certificate programs are examined in terms of direct expenses, staff, and institutional overhead. The discussion includes the income potential of such programs and start-up and maintenance expenses. (SK)

This document supports the Cost Allocation Plan for state costs incurred on behalf of, and in benefit to, the public higher education institutions of Ohio. Tables report a summary of recalled/refunded debt and initial adjustment of Fiscal Year 2006 interest payments fore refunded debt. Attached schedules calculate the allocable interest for each…

Broad guidelines are presented for making budget allocations based on approximate impact that changing program enrollments have on each unit's budget, the dollar impact on the unit's budget for faculty position changes, costs of specific program change, and revisions in the base budget, which may be made by requiring justification for refunding.…

A study of the impact of PL 94-142 (The Education For All Handicapped Children Act) spending in South Dakota was conducted during the first half of 1980. The study focused on financial and programmatic factors and addressed the following purposes: analyzing the reporting system for the expenditures of PL 94-142 funds, and formalizing the…

This study investigated ways in which the costs of a library's direct and indirect services can be equitably allocated to its heterogeneous group of institution users. It was conducted from October 1, 1974 to March 31, 1977. The final report is divided into four parts, each describing a separate issue. Part I discusses the general administrative…

Part II of the study describes a model for associating one portion of total library costs with use; the model's output is a set of charges that can be used to recover (justify) these usage-based costs. Algebraic formulations constructed and combined to form the model are a set of service charges that may vary by user type and recover out-of-pocket…

Part III of the study describes a model for completing the cost assessment (justification) process by accounting for the fixed joint costs; a "fair" and equitable mechanism is developed in the context of game-theoretic approach. An n-person game is constructed in which the "players" are the institutions served by the library,…

Part IV is a summary analysis of sample and survey data collected to facilitate the structure of the cost assessment models and to find out which, if any, subgroups of HAM-TMC user population make more (or less) use of various library services. Sampling data were obtained from brief interviews and in-house files of various user institutions to…

Cost-effectiveness/benefit analysis is an analytical technique for assessing outputs of educational programs in relation to the program objectives and the associated program costs. It combines the two concepts of cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-benefit analysis into a comprehensive model. The cost-effectiveness/benefit analysis model has been…

Procedures are presented for use in reporting costs for institutions of higher education in Illinois.
