Based at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, the NCIIA was created to promote the adoption of the E-Team concept by colleges and universities across the country. The "E" stands for excellence and entrepreneurship. E-Teams are groups of students faculty, and professionals who join together to pursue the development of an idea, product, or invention, or to solve a problem in a way that has the promise of developing an enterprise that will generate jobs and social benefits.

The grants programs is described in detail in the NCIIA Request for Proposals located in the Galpin Alcove and at http://www.nciia.org. For more information contact Maryellen Rousseau, NCIIA Program Coordinator at 413-587-2172.

National Science Foundation

There are two services being offered by NSF for obtaining information on funding opportunities, receiving NSF publications electronically, and for conducting business with the Foundation over the Internet and World Wide Web. A number of NSF competitions are no longer printing copies of solicitations and announcement to be mailed to persons on mass mailing lists. Therefore, it is important for you to familiarize yourself with the NSF homepage. Contact the NSF homepage to subscribe to Custom News Service. This service allows you to create a profile of the types of publications of interest to you. By creating a profile, you can elect to be notified by email when new documents matching your profile are added to the NSF Online Document System. The second NSF service is FastLane used to exchange information and facilitate business transactions between the NSF and its client community. Some features of FastLane include: proposal submission, status checks, NSF award searches, submission of Final Project Reports, initiation of cash requests, and awardee notifications. Contact the Office of Science and Technology Infrastructure for additional information on their programs and activities.

NSF short courses for college teachers for the 2003 Faculty Development Program information is available in the Galpin Alcove.

The Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign

Center for Academic Transformation
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
110 8th Street
Troy, NY 12180-3590 - (518) 276-6519

The Pew Grant Program in Course Redesign is a $6 million institutional grant program that will support efforts of colleges and universities to redesign their instructional approaches using technology to achieve cost savings as well as quality enhancements. Redesign projects will focus on large-enrollment, introductory courses, which have the potential of impacting significant numbers of students and generating substantial cost savings.

The Pew Symposia in Learning and Technology will conduct an ongoing national conversation about issues related to the intersection of learning and technology. It will marshal the thinking of acknowledged experts and frame the issues in ways that are useful to the higher education community as it incorporates uses of technology into the academic program. The program will convene two invitational symposia per year from 1999 through 2002 and produce monographs based on those discussions from a public-interest perspective.

The Pew Learning and Technology Program Newsletter is an electronic newsletter that will be published quarterly beginning September 1999. It will highlight ongoing examples of redesigned learning environments using technology and examine issues related to their development and implementation. To have your name added to the Pew Learning and Technology Program electronic mailing list, which ensures that you receive the newsletter, periodic updates and information about this new effort, send an email message (with subject line left blank) to listproc@lists.rpi.edu. In the body of the message, type SUB PLTP-L your name.

The Pew Learning and Technology Program is coordinated by the newly created Center for Academic Transformation at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The Center's mission is to serve as a source of expertise and support for those in and around higher education who wish to transform their academic practices to make them more accessible, more effective and more productive by taking advantage of the capabilities of information technology.

External Faculty Fellowships

External fellowships fall into two categories: a) senior fellowships for well-established scholars; b) junior fellowships for scholars who at the beginning of their fellowship year will be at least three years beyond receipt of the Ph.D. and normally no more than ten. External fellowships are intended primarily for persons currently teaching or affiliated with an academic institution, but others may apply. The Center tries to award its fellowships across the spectrum of academic ranks (assistant, associate, and full professor, or their equivalent). The six to eight fellowhisps will be awarded from an applicant pool of 250-300. Applications from scholars of color are encouraged. Awards are announced in early March. Applications and the 1996-97 SHC Annual Report may be viewed in the Galpin Hall Alcove.
