PROJECT
OVERVIEW
Technical colleges
and divisions may compete for both continuation and new improvement
and innovation federal Carl Perkins Leadership dollars to engage
in a wide variety of projects, which promote program, service, function,
and/or college improvements and innovations and are linked to Perkins
mandates, permissives and core sub-indicators. Project funds will
be awarded through a competitive project application/evaluation
process overseen by the Office of Technical Education (OTE).
Estimated Total Funds Available
$500,000. Actual available funds will be determined after the
FY 2002 year-end close.
Funds Distribution
Colleges may submit two different applications; one application
for Continuation funds and one application for New funds.
Continuation Funds
Continuation Funds may be used for longitudinal research, study
and analysis of results based on the implementation of the college's
FY 2002 improvement and innovation project. Continuation funds
may not be used to continue the implementation of the college's
FY 2002 project.
- An approximated 20% of total funds available will be in the
form of continuation funds.
- Colleges may compete for up to 30% of their FY 2002 TEIIP.
By way of example, a college receiving $20,000 ($30,000, $40,000)
of project funds in FY 2002 is eligible to compete for $6,000
($7,000, $12,000) of Continuation funds in FY 2003.
New Funds
For New funds, colleges are divided into three groups based on
FY 2001 FTE enrollment data. The groups are Large, Medium, and
Small. New Funds may be used to develop a FY 2003 project.
- An approximated 80% of total funds available will be in the
form of new project funds.
- A maximum project award of approximately $55,000 has been
established for Large colleges, approximately $45,000 for Medium
colleges, and approximately $35,000 for Small colleges. Each
group of colleges will compete within itself for three project
awards at their particular level of funding. A total of nine
projects-three in each group-will be funded. Projects may be
submitted with a budget less than the project maxim.
College Size
Colleges have been divided into approximate thirds (i.e. the three
size categories) based on FY 2001 FTE data. (See spreadsheet page
four in TIIP Guidebook.)
PERKINS
OVERVIEW
The purpose of the 1998 Perkins is fourfold: (1) to build
on the efforts of states and localities to develop challenging
academic standards; (2) to promote the development of services
and activities that integrate academic, vocational and technical
instruction and that link secondary and postsecondary education;
(3) to increase state and local flexibility to provide services
and activities; and (4) to disseminate national research and to
provide professional development and technical assistance that
will improve vocational and technical education programs.
To help reach these goals, the Technical Improvement and Innovation
Project is intended as the spark to help our technical colleges
develop new, creative, and imaginative ways of delivering improved
technical instruction, processes, services, and/or activities
to our students.
