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!

COMPUTER SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS SCHOLARSHIPS (CSEMS)
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION
http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/due/programs/csems/
Deadline: January 28, 2004
The NSF Computer Science, Engineering, and Mathematics Scholarship Program supports scholarships for academically talented, financially needy students, enabling them to enter the high technology workforce following the completion of an associate degree in computer science, computer technology, engineering, engineering technology, or mathematics. Academic institutions apply for awards to support scholarship activities and are responsible for selecting scholarship recipients. Institutional awards normally do not exceed $100,000 per year for up to four years with student scholarships up to $3,125 per year/per student. Cost sharing is not required and indirect costs are not allowed. The $100,000 limit includes funds for administrative and student services functions as well as scholarship funds. The Principal Investigator must be a faculty member currently teaching within one of the listed disciplines and must accept overall management responsibility.
* IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS MAY BE THE LAST YEAR INSTITUTIONS CAN APPLY FOR THIS GRANT PROGRAM. CSEMS is currently funded through H-1B visa fees and it is anticipated that these funds will not be available beyond the current competition.
2004 TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING GRANT INITIATIVE
HIGHER EDUCATION RFP
HEWLETT-PACKARD
Deadline: March 1, 2004
The HP Technology for Teaching Grant Initiative is designed to support innovative and effective uses of technology in classrooms so that students may reach their full potential, particularly in math, science and engineering. Proposed projects must integrate mobile technology into the campus environment in ways that positively affect student achievement and are replicable across campus. For two and four year colleges and universities in the United States, HP will disseminate a total of $5.5 million in cash and equipment to 40 schools. The award packages for individual institutions will include an HP product package valued at approximately $50,000, a faculty stipend of $7,500 to work on project integration, and one year of access to HP Higher Education Help Desk support. Only proposals from full-time faculty in math, science, computer science, or engineering disciplines will be considered. A maximum of one grant will be awarded per institution. Recipients awarded for 2004 may be invited to apply in 2005 for an additional grant investment.
SUMMER SEMINARS AND INSTITUTES FOR COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY TEACHERS
HUMANITIES FOCUS GRANTS
NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES
Deadlines: March 1, 2004 (Summer Seminars); April 15, 2004 (Focus Grants)
Summer Seminars & Institutes provide college and university teachers four to six weeks of formal study on topics in the humanities. Teachers selected to participate receive a stipend of $2,800, $3,250, or $3,700 (depending on the length of the seminar or institute) to cover the costs of travel, books and other research and living expenses. First consideration is given to applicants who have not participated in a NEH-supported seminar or institute in the last three years. The list of seminar/institute topics and information regarding how to apply is available on the NEH website.
Humanities Focus Grants enable educators to consider significant humanities topics or to map institutional directions for teaching the humanities. Grants typically range from 10,000 to $25,000; however, maximum awards are expected to increase to $30,000 for a single institution and up to $75,000 for collaborations of more than one college in the 2004 competition. Projects should address a coherent sequence of topics and should provide participants with sufficient opportunity for reading, reflection, inquiry, and discussion. Funds may be used to pay for guest scholars and visiting consultants, books and other materials, modest purchases of computer equipment directly related to the project, logistical support, and especially for release time so that participants have time to read, think, write, and deliberate. NEH encourages potential applicants to consult with a program officer prior to grant submission. Program officers will review preliminary proposals and provide feedback if sent four to six weeks prior to the proposal deadline. Guidelines for the 2004 competition should be available this winter.
