NINCH ANNOUNCE
January 27, 1997
1997 TIIAP AWARDS PROGRAM: APPLICATIONS DUE MARCH 27
Below is the announcement of the TIIAP Awards Program for 1997. This is an
extremely important awards program offering great opportunities to this
community.
*********************************************************************
SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, HOSPITALS, PUBLIC SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS,
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AND OTHER NON-PROFITS
ELIGIBLE FOR INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY GRANTS
Potential Applicants Encouraged to Participate in Regional Workshops
WASHINGTON, DC -- Some $18.5 million dollars in grants will be awarded
in 1997 under the Commerce Department's Telecommunications and
Information Infrastructure Assistance Program (TIIAP) for outstanding
projects that address specific needs of communities across the country,
the department's National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA) said in announcing that it will begin accepting
applications for the 1997 awards next week.
The deadline for submitting applications is March 27,1997. This
year's priorities will include funding outstanding projects that identify
specific problems or needs in a community, use information
infrastructure services and technologies to offer concrete solutions, and
target measurable outcomes. Non-profit organizations, colleges and
universities, and all non-federal governmental entities are eligible to
apply, the department said.
"Through this grant program, the Clinton Administration is working
to make sure that all Americans have access to the benefits of the
Information Age," said Larry Irving, assistant secretary of Commerce for
Communications and Information and administrator of NTIA. "Everyone
interested in making sure their community is prepared for the 21st
Century should attend a TIIAP workshop and join with others in their
community to submit a grant application."
TIIAP, a highly-competitive, merit-based grant program, provides
seed money for innovative, practical projects that extend the benefits of
advanced telecommunications and information technology to rural and
urban underserved Americans. Since its inception in 1994, the
information infrastructure grant program has awarded more than $79
million in matching grant funds.
Conceived as part of the President's National Information
Infrastructure (NII) initiative, TIIAP has leveraged more than $133 million in
local matching funds. TIIAP projects funded in previous years are
providing innovations in education; helping create more responsive public
institutions; enhancing economic development in rural and disadvantaged
areas; and increasing access to health care.
NTIA will hold a series of regional Outreach Workshops to
discuss the TIIAP program, introduce the 1997 TIIAP grant round, and
discuss program funding priorities and application requirements. This is
a key opportunity for interested parties to understand the TIIAP goals and
process and meet representatives of other organizations interested in
the TIIAP program. The Outreach Workshops will be held on February
14, in Alexandria, Virginia; February 19, in Nashua, New Hampshire;
February 26, in Chicago, Illinois; March 4, in New Orleans, Louisiana; and
March 6, in Phoenix, Arizona.
Information about the program's regulations and procedures can
be found in the Notice of Availability of Grant Funds, published in the
Federal Register on January 27, 1997. For more information about TIIAP
and the Outreach Workshops, call (202) 482-2048, or e-mail to
tiiap@ntia.doc.gov, or via the Internet at http://www.ntia.doc.gov.
TIIAP is administered by the U.S. Commerce Department's National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). NTIA serves
as the principal adviser to the President, Vice President and Secretary of
Commerce on domestic and international communications and information
issues and represents the Executive Branch before the Congress, other
Federal agencies, foreign governments and international organizations.

Subject: The Perpetual Aristotle: Spring, 1997
THE PERPETUAL ARISTOTLE
The Perpetual Aristotle is a series of 4 on-line seminars in
Aristotelian logic commencing this spring under the sponsorship of
the Aldine Press, a nonprofit organization. All 4 seminars will be
repeated every year in two semesters in tandem with the normal
university academic year. The Perpetual Aristotle also hosts a
library of on-line information of use to students of Aristotle,
including bibliographies and downloadable texts.
Two seminars are currently scheduled to begin next Wednesday, Jan 27:
Posterior Analytics I, moderated by James South, and Posterior
Analytics II, moderated by Scott Carson. Other seminars will be
scheduled if we have sufficient expression of interest by
subscribers.
There is a fee of $100 for participation in each seminar. This fee
can be reduced if a subscriber shows evidence of financial need. It
is hoped that persons who can afford to do so will contribute more
generously to support the mission of the Perpetual Aristotle.
To receive a copy of the mission statement of the Perpetual Aristotle
and a description of the seminar in which you are interested, send an
email message to:
postmaster@aldinepress.com
with one sentence in the body of the message. This sentence should
consist of the word "info" followed by the abbreviation of the
seminar in which you are interested. For example, if you are
interested in information about Posterior Analytics I, the sentence
should read:
info anpo1
The director of the Perpetual Aristotle is Gerald Harnett, whom you
may contact directly at:
harnett@aldinepress.com
Below is a list of the seminars:
THE FOUR SEMINARS
Each of the four seminars is divided into two parts, the first
