**Program Description**

> The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) is
> "encouraging the reform, innovation, and improvement of postsecondary
> education, and providing equal educational opportunity for all."
> (Section 741, Higher Education Act of 1965)

Through its grant competitions, FIPSE supports projects that provide
innovative models to reform and improve postsecondary education. The
goals of the FIPSE program are: (1) increasing participation and
completion rates of students in postsecondary education; (2)
facilitating advancements in institutional performance and improvements
in the quality of teaching; and (3) encouraging international
cooperation, student exchanges, and partnerships among higher education
institutions and other organizations. FIPSE supports the following
discretionary grant programs:

[FIPSE Comprehensive Program]{.underline}---This program provides funds
for projects focusing on finding solutions to common problems and
promoting quality education. The program supplies seed capital for
projects designed to foster educational reform and innovation in areas
such as student access, retention, and completion; curricular reform;
controlling the costs of postsecondary education; faculty development;
and dissemination of successful postsecondary innovations. Each year,
FIPSE staff and the education community target areas for reform and
improvement.

Annual priorities for the Comprehensive Program are set by FIPSE with
the advice of the FIPSE National Board. The FY 2001 award priorities for
the Comprehensive Program include access, retention, and completion;
improving campus climates for learning; curricular and pedagogical
reform; making more productive use of resources to improve teaching and
learning; faculty development; improving K-12 teaching and school; and
dissemination of successful innovations.

[FIPSE Special Focus Programs]{.underline}--- These competitions fund a
variety of projects that address a given problem area or "special focus"
in postsecondary education. Currently, FIPSE administers three
international consortia programs focusing on curricular development and
student mobility. These programs are funded cooperatively by FIPSE and
foreign government partners, and include the European Community
(E.C.)/U.S., U.S./Canada/Mexico, and U.S./Brazil programs. The purpose
of these programs is to foster student exchange within the context of
multilateral curricular development and to encourage the exchange of
expertise in new developments in higher education.

FIPSE disseminates information on its programs, current publications,
guidelines, and technical assistance on its Web page,
www.ed.gov/offices/OPE/FIPSE and through publications. Four volumes of
Lessons Learned highlight the most promising outcomes of FIPSE-funded
projects. The *Current Project Descriptions* annual volumes provide
abstracts of all FIPSE-funded projects.

**Program Performance**

Objective 1: Promote reforms that improve the quality of teaching and
learning at postsecondary institutions.
