Faculty Development Fellowship Program; Notice Inviting 
Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 1994

Purpose of Program

    The Faculty Development Fellowship Program provides grants to 
institutions of higher education, consortia of institutions, and 
consortia of institutions and nonprofit organizations to fund 
fellowships for individuals from underrepresented minority groups to 
enter or continue in the higher education professorate.
    On March 31, 1994, the President signed into law the Goals 2000: 
Educate America Act (Pub. L. 103-227). The Act enunciates eight 
National Education Goals for the year 2000. This program addresses the 
National Education Goals, that the Nation's teaching force will have 
access to programs for the continued improvement of their professional 
skills and the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills needed 
to instruct and prepare all American students for the next century. 
This program furthers the Goals by providing grant funds to allow 
prospective faculty members and experienced faculty members to engage 
in doctoral study or participate in professional development programs 
that will enhance their skills and careers.

Eligible Applicants

    Institutions of higher education, consortia of institutions, and 
consortia of institutions and nonprofit organizations that have a 
demonstrated record of enhancing the access to graduate education of 
individuals from underrepresented minority groups.
    No fellowship shall be awarded under this program for study at a 
school or department of divinity.
    Deadline For Transmittal of Applications: August 15, 1994.
    Deadline for Intergovernmental Review: September 28, 1994.
    Applications Available: July 1, 1994.
    Available Funds: $3.5 million.
    Estimated Range of Awards: $200,000-$400,000.
    Estimated Average Size of Awards: $350,000.
    Estimated Number of Awards: 8-12.

    Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this 
notice.

Project Period

    Up to 60 months for the Experienced Faculty Development 
Fellowships. Up to 36 months for the Faculty Professional Development 
Fellowships.

Applicable Regulations

    (a) The Education Department General Administrative Regulations 
(EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 82, 85, and 86; and (b). The 
regulations in 34 CFR part 641 as published elsewhere in this issue of 
the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This program provides three types of 
fellowships--(1) Prospective Faculty Development Fellowships for 
talented baccalaureate degree recipients from underrepresented minority 
groups who have financial need and who wish to obtain a doctoral degree 
and enter the higher education professorate; (2) Experienced Faculty 
Development Fellowships for talented faculty from underrepresented 
minority groups who wish to continue in the higher education 
professorate and obtain a doctoral degree; and (3) Faculty Professional 
Development Fellowships for talented faculty from underrepresented 
minority groups who wish to participate in short-term professional 
development programs, including seminars, conferences, and workshops, 
specifically designed to enhance their skills and careers. The purpose 
of the program is to increase the number of doctoral degrees received 
by members of underrepresented minority groups in the higher education 
professorate and to provide professional development activities to 
underrepresented minority faculty. Grant funds for prospective and 
experienced faculty development fellowships may be used to pay stipends 
to the fellows. Grant funds for faculty professional development 
fellowships may be used to cover allowable costs specified in the 
program regulations.

Stripend Level

    The Secretary has determined that the maximum fellowship stipend 
for experienced faculty development fellows for academic year 1994-1995 
is $14,400, which is equal to the level of support that the National 
Science Foundation is providing for its graduate fellowships.

Priority

an absolute preference to applications that meet one of the following 
priorities. The Secretary funds under this competition only
