 <title>Discretionary Grants: Further Tightening of Education&apos;s Procedures for Making Awards Could Improve Transparency and Accountability</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>In the past 3 years, Education awarded an average of $4.8 billion
annually in discretionary grants through its competitive awards  
process and through consideration of unsolicited proposals. GAO  
assessed Education&apos;s policies and procedures for both competitive
awards and unsolicited proposals awarded by its Office of	 
Innovation and Improvement in 2003 and 2004 and determined	 
whether it followed them in awarding grants in those years. GAO  
also reviewed Education&apos;s grant award decisions for several 2001 
and 2002 grants to determine whether the department followed its 
own policies.</abstract>
