CEDStandards / CEDS-Elements

The Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) are an education data management initiative whose purpose is to streamline the understanding of data within and across P-20W institutions and sectors. CEDS includes a common vocabulary complete with standard elements names, definitions, and option sets. This repository contains all the CEDS elements, definitions, option sets and their definitions, and entities and definitions. Its purpose is to expand that vocabulary to meet the needs of every education stakeholder. The expanded vocabulary is then added to the CEDS Integration Data Store and CEDS Data Warehouse – the other two repositories located here.

Use Case Background The US ED's Office of Acquisition, Grants and Risk Management, Grants Management Policy Division is developing a Single Use Annual Performance Report that pulls together elements from various APRs. The goal is to make it easier for those submitting APRs. As part of this work, we compared CEDS and the Federal Integrated Business Framework Grant Management Standards. You can find their standards at https://ussm.gsa.gov/fibf-gm/.

The Single Use APR requires information on Indirect Cost Rate. The elements proposed here are taken from instructions proposed along with the Single Use APR and directly from the Federal Integrated Business Framework Grant Management Standards.
