The Forecast of Funding Opportunities is by no means a complete list (although it is well-researched and pretty comprehensive). The intention behind it is to give faculty, staff and divisions enough lead time to plan and develop their projects and proposals. Many of these opportunities are annual so if you miss one this year, it is usually held again at approximately the same time the following year. If you come across any opportunities that you think should be added to this list, please email me at ywu-craig@chabotcollege.edu. Thank you for your interest!

CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE

Deadline: May 22, 2002
FII supports projects that improve learning and teaching in the community college through the development, implementation, and evaluation of alternative educational programs and services. The 2002-2003 competition includes the following grant and loan categories:
Large Grants: One-year projects exceeding $20,000 that demonstrate a system-wide impact and are suitable for institutionalization. A ten percent (10%) match is required.
Small Grants: One-year projects designed to address local college/faculty needs that do not exceed $20,000. A ten percent (10%) match is required.
Research Grants: One-to-two year research projects that identify a research hypothesis, state research objectives, describe the methodology to be used, and identify the success/failure standard for the hypothesis. Research grants average around $70,000 per year. No match is required.
Loans: One-year interest free loans of up to $345,000 to provide seed money for a system-wide or local initiative. Repayment takes place through a reduction in district apportionment in three annual payments beginning the first funding year after the loan is made. The primary use of a loan is to purchase equipment, however, other proposed loan uses may be accepted. No match is required.
Eligible grant/loan projects must promote improvement or innovation in at least one of the following areas:
Nontraditional Instruction to include internships and experiential learning opportunities, independent study programs, and the development of interpersonal skills.
Program Development to address the special learning needs of educationally disadvantaged students or develop educational services designed for new student populations such as older or working adults.
Faculty and Staff Development to include visiting scholar programs, "summer bridge" programs for the transition of faculty into college life, intersegmental summer research projects or seminars, interdisciplinary programs involving non-college institutions in arts and sciences, and intersegmental research and public information projects on topics of special interest to California.
