How should training grant PD/PIs calculate their program completion rates for reporting on Table 12A?
A training grant’s completion rate should be calculated based on students entering the institution’s graduate programs ten years prior to the reporting year. For example, when reporting for 2009-2010, programs should report on the percentage of students that began graduate studies at their institution ten years earlier (i.e., academic year 2000-2001) and that were supported by the training grant at any point within that 10-year timeframe. If all of those students have completed a Ph.D. by the ten-year mark, the completion rate will be 100%. If some students have left the program without a Ph.D., transferred to medical school or another doctoral-level professional program, or are still in training, the completion rate should be reduced accordingly. Individuals transferring to or from Ph.D. programs in similar fields at other institutions should be excluded from both the entering and graduating cohorts in calculating the completion rate.
