SUMMARY: The Corporation for National and Community Service 
(Corporation) requests proposals to be submitted so that it may support 
up to fifteen National Service Fellowships beginning in September 1997.

DATES: Proposals must be received by June 16, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Proposals must be delivered to Pam Burch, Procurement 
Services, Corporation for National and Community Service, 1201 New York 
Avenue NW, 9th Floor, Washington, DC 20525.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Guidelines for developing proposals must be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Corporation plans to support up to 
fifteen National Service Fellowships beginning in September 1997. The 
Fellowships will be in the form of contracts, made directly to 
individuals, for up to $25,000 for a nine to ten month period ($2,500 
per month). Fellowship candidates must submit a proposal to the 
Corporation explaning a significant issue that they would address, what 
contribution they would make, and what outcomes would result from their 
efforts. Fellowship assignments will be carried out where the 
Corporation (or possibly State Commissions) maintains offices so that 
the Corporation may provide office space and management. In addition to 
producing the outcomes specified in their respective proposals, fellows 
will also serve on a self-managed team with other fellows to assess 
progress, consider synergy among projects, and for purposes of 
individual development. Fellowship candidates must be citizens or 
lawful permanent resident aliens of the United States.

Criteria for Consideration

    1. Substance and conceptual quality of the proposal.
    2. Relevance of the proposed outcome to the Corporation and/or the 
field of service.
    3. Degree of predictability that the prospective Fellow has the 
ability to produce the proposed outcome, including indicators such as 
work experience and accomplishments, and academic credentials and 
accomplishments.
    4. Experience performing significant service, including experience 
as an AmeriCorps Member or Leader, or with another Corporation-related 
program.

    Authority: 45 CFR 2533.10.

    Dated: April 21, 1997.
