HIGHER EDUCATION FUNDING GUIDELINES
THE ANNENBERG/CPB PROJECTS

The Annenberg/CPB Projects recently released the 1994
funding guidelines for its Higher Education Program.  This
announcement summarizes the priorities and describes how
to obtain the funding guidelines in paper or electronic formats.

PRIORITIES

The guidelines contain three Initiatives:

Initiative I is for the development of "coherent, course-sized
bodies of rich instructional resources" whose content addresses
one or more of the following priorities:

     -- completing the curriculum for a two-year degree (specifically,
        in a) speech and oral communication, b) introduction
            to music, and c) arts appreciation.)

     -- developing materials in child care and parenting

     -- creating the means for learners and educators to
        understand and exploit emerging technology

     -- revising and augmenting materials currently in the
        Annenberg/CPB Collection.

Approximately $2.5 million is available for several projects.
Typical projects should be completed in 1-2 years.  Proposals
are due July 1, 1994.

Initiative II calls for preliminary proposals for
international co-production of introductory courses in
Philosophy, Music, Religion, and Arts Appreciation.  One to
three preliminary proposals will be selected, taken to an
international meeting of producers, and one selected to submit a
final proposal.  A one-page summary of your proposal is due May
2, 1994 and a ten-page preliminary proposal will be due June 10,
1994.

Initiative III will fund projects that support national networks
of faculty members, each interested in improving and perhaps
restructuring the same course or courses where students use
technology.  The Initiative, called "Rethinking Courses: Sharing
Information about Technology, Technology-Based Materials,
and Teaching" will fund 3-5 projects from a total pool of $600,000.
Each project should be led by a team of faculty from at least
three institutions.  Eligible subject areas include humanities, arts,
social sciences, and professional programs.
Proposals submitted to Initiative III are due by July 15, 1994.
