Proposals for the next "TAB" (Technology Advisory Board) competition are now being invited for consideration under two categories of grants:

Innovative Technology and Education Departmental/Specific Use Lab Support

The primary mission of TAB is to increase the availability of innovative technology and education. This RFP is targeted to insure that students have access to current computer technology in general/specialized labs and classroom teaching. TAB awards have funded projects in a wide variety of disciplines in the arts, humanities, and sciences proposed by both faculty and students. I invite your response to this RFP.

Each of the areas that TAB is requesting proposals in have different requirements as well as different pathways for the approval of faculty/staff and of student proposals. Specific information on the process, timelines, proposal forms (in MS Word format), the forms used for the recommendation of faculty/staff and student proposals, as well as the evaluation sheet used by TAB are all found at the TAB website: www.uaf.edu/tab. This web site also contains summary information on previous awards and a list of TAB representatives. Please note that the departmental/specific use lab support is targeted to enhance existing technology or purchase new software not the wholesale replacement of computer lab equipment.

The two other areas TAB allocates support to - Open Computer Lab Accessibility (extended hours) and Center for Academic Technology (Smart Classrooms) have been solicited separately. If you have questions about the proposal areas or the process please contact Suzanne Noll at fytab@uaf.edu .

PROPOSALS MUST BE SUBMITTED ON THE FORMS. PLEASE CHECK THE PROPOSAL SUBMISSION SCHEDULE ON THE TAB WEB SITE AT www.uaf.edu/tab FOR DEADLINES.
