Kennedy Chairman, Committee on Labor and 148126 Human Resources United States Senate The Honorable William D. Ford Chairman, Committee on Education and Labor House of Representatives The Honorable Christopher J. Dodd United States Senate The Honorable John F. Kerry United States Senate The Honorable Joseph Lieberman United States Senate The Honorable Barney Frank House of Representatives In response to your requests, we have reviewed the procedures used in awarding a $6 million discretionary grant by the Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI) to demonstrate the use of high technology to address education needs in critical subject matter areas. You expressed concerns that (1) the award was made for reasons other than merit and (2) the usual peer review process used in grant selection was not followed. We did not attempt to determine the merit of individual proposals or of the final award decision. Rather, we examined the peer review process and the Secretary's authority in awarding discretionary grants. Our review included (1) interviewing Department of Education officials from OERI, the Office of Grants and Contracts, and the General Counsel; (2) examining laws, regulations, and procedures that apply to the- Department's award of discretionary grants and how they were applied in this competition; and (3) interviewing persons who read and ranked applicant proposals that competed for the grant. GAO/HRD-93-SR, Department of Education Grant Award
