------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goals:
The ACM/SIGAda Conference Grants program is intended to help educators
introduce, strengthen, and expand the use of Ada in secondary school,
college, and university curricula. We welcome a proposal from anyone who
feels that his or her goals meet this description. The 1993 program will
award approximately 10 of these grants.
Benefits:
(1) Full registration for the technical sessions at TRI-Ada '93, in Seattle,
Washington, Sept. 18-23, including one copy of the conference proceedings.
(2) Registration costs for 2 days of tutorials or workshops at TRI-Ada '93,
September 18-19 (Saturday and Sunday). A copy of the course titles to be
presented at TRI-Ada is included at the end of this announcement. You may
choose to attend any course(s) that will help you achieve your goals.
How to Propose:
In order to be considered for a grant, you must prepare a formal proposal
and send it, by regular mail or e-mail postmarked, by August 27, 1993
to either
Michael B. Feldman Richard E. Pattis
Department of Electrical Engineering Department of Computer Science
and Computer Science and Engineering
The George Washington University University of Washington
Washington, DC 20052 Seattle, WA 98195
(202) 994-5253 (206) 685-1218
mfeldman@seas.gwu.edu pattis@cs.washington.edu
The proposal should contain three specific items:
(1) Cover Letter: A cover sheet with your name, address, phone number,
and e-mail address (if available). It should be stated that you would not
be able to attend the conference without the support of this grant.
It would be useful to obtain a statement from the appropriate
department chair or dean, to the effect that he/she has read and
supports the your statements, including assurance that the necessary
travel funds will be made available to you if the grant is awarded.
(2) Proposer's Statement (3 pages maximum): A statement of the proposer's
background, environment, and plans.
-- Environment : The current curriculum in your institution
-- Plans : What you plan to do with Ada in the curriculum and how
these plans relate to the current environment in your
school
-- Background : The relevant experience that you bring to the plans
(3) Course Selection: State which TRI-Ada tutorial(s) or workshop(s) you
would like to attend, and if it is not obvious, the relevance of these
courses to the plans above.
Evaluating Proposals:
All proposals will be evaluated by educators who teach and use Ada in
their curricula. Proposals will be evaluated on:
-- the quality and appropriateness of the plans
-- the appropriateness of the TRI-Ada courses to the plans
-- the preparation of the proposer to do the development
Awards will be announced by Sep 10, 1993. Grantees will be asked to accept the
grant formally and to verify their attendance at that time, and arrangements
will be made for registration following their acceptance. All proposers will
be notified of the decision on their proposals, but detailed evaluation
information will not be available.
