How Assessments are Determined
• Budgets prepared for each entity:
– Personnel; Office Operations; Travel; Meeting
Expenses; Publications, Advocacy, etc.
• Budgets approved by appropriate body (PBD,
ECOP, etc.).
• Assessments derived by formula for all entities
except Academic Programs (undergrad/grad
enrollments).
– Formula basis: ∑ USDA formula + grant funds received
by institution on 3-year rolling average.
– Formula = 60% of assessment base; grant funds = 40%
of assessment base.
