[Millican, Marvanna]

Dear 2002 Eisenhower Project Directors:

	Some of you may be interested in the Summer Academy RFP or know others who are so please forward to those interested.
	The new Eisenhower RFP which will be known as NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT OF 2001 STATE GRANT PROGRAM, TITLE II, PART A, will be available very soon, hopefully before the end of the month.

	The 2003 Summer Academy RFP (Request for Proposals) has been posted on the State Regents' website. (www.okhighered.org)
	The direct link is:  http://www.okhighered.org/grants/home.html.  A letter was sent to your president with this information.

	A question-and-answer workshop relating to the Summer Academies Program (Submission of Proposals) has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 10, 2002.  It will be held in the State Regents' Conference Room (2nd floor at 655 Research Parkway) from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

	As well as the workshop, we have set up a list serve that will be used to answer questions and make suggestions related to the RFP.  Please encourage any faculty interested in submitting a proposal to subscribe to the list serve on this website (<http://lists.onenet.net> - Name of list serve:  SA-RFP).

	Please forward this information to any other faculty and/or staff who may be interested in submitting a proposal.  Closing date for 2003 proposals is Tuesday, October 1, 2002.

	Several changes have been made to the RFP; some are highlighted below:
*	Proposals are to be submitted via e-mail.
*	No proposals will be accepted in hard copy.
*	Only 2 pages will be required in hard copy - Statement of Assurances and an endorsement letter.
*	The contact person for this next year has changed - Mr. Nathan Gann will be your new contact.  Please submit any questions and proposals to him. (ngann at osrhe.edu)  If Nathan is unavailable, I will still be able to assist you.

	Please take careful note of all bolded or capitalized wording within the RFP as the wording is new or it is very important in the submission of proposals.
