Improving Postsecondary Education

 

PROGRAM

: The Comprehensive Program is the primary grant

competition of the U.S. Department of Education’s Fund for the

Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). This program

supports innovative educational improvement projects that respond to

problems of national significance. The FIPSE deems project ideas

innovative if they have not been tried before or if there is a significant

challenge in adapting them to new settings of new target populations.

Innovation by itself is often not enough. FIPSE challenges applicants

to conceive, design, and manage projects in ways that promote

sustained operations and growth, increase impact in other settings,

and achieve other lasting and widespread impacts.

DEADLINE

: March 22, 2005.

FUNDING

: 12.7 million for up to 60 grants.
