Abstract
The Comprehensive Program is the primary grant component of the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). The Comprehensive Program supports innovative educational improvement projects that respond to problems of national significance. Proposals may be submitted by a variety of institutions and organizations, but not by individuals of for-profit schools and organizations. It is expected that 5 to 55 new FIPSE awards will be made in fiscal year 2002. The information in this application booklet is intended to aid in preparing proposals for this competition. It describes the two-stage application and review process and cites the authority under which the grants are made. The sections are: (1) "What Is Expected of a FIPSE Grant? Innovation and Impact"; (2) "FY 2004 Agenda for Improving Postsecondary Education"; (3) "Guide to Proposal Development"; and (4) "Application Instructions." Examples are given of some successful proposals in the past. Instructions include instructions for electronic applications.
