N1 - Funding Information:
Following funding of the proposals by the ACS Task Force, each ACS staff member had the opportunity to review the proposals which had been funded, and to choose four or five projects for which he would serve the Computer Network's primary contact. Staff members made their choise of projects among the following lines: (i) prior working relationships with grant recipients, (2) interest in the subject area of the grant (3) geographic split between campuses, and (4) expertise or interest in the computer skills required for the project.

N2 - Over the past fiscal year the University of Nebraska Computer Network has sponsored a Computer Augmented Instruction/Experimental Program (CAI/EP). The program aimed at providing computer information processing services to members of the University faculty who wished to evaluate the efficacy of adding a computer component to their courses of instruction. Services eligible for funding through the program included: Cost of Program Acquisition Systems Analysis Time Programmer Time, and Computer Time The program particularly appealed to those faculty who had limited knowledge of the computer per se but knew of existing software or courseware which might prove useful in their teaching efforts. CAI/EP was run as an internal grants award program whereby faculty on the three campuses of the University of Nebraska system (UN-L, UNO and UNMC) applied to a University-wide committee which reviewed the proposals and awarded the grants. The funding for this effort was provided by budgetary improvement funds to the University of Nebraska Computer Network specifically designated to improve instructional computing.
