The General Education Pro- visions Act (Public Law 92-318) enacted on June 23, 1972, authorized the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to make grants to and enter into contracts with public and private educational institutions and agencies to improve post- secondary educational opportunities by encouraging a broad range of reforms and innovations. These grants and contracts are administered by the Fund, a separate organizational unit established by the Secretary, which is under the purview of the Assistant Secretary for Education A 15-member Board of Advisors, which is appointed by the Secretary, makes recommendations to the Director of the Fund on priorities for the improvement of postsecondary education, projects under consideration for funding, and overall Fund operations Since starting operations in 1973, the Fund has supported 385 new projects and 171 renewal projects, which have been awarded about $42.2 million. The 385 new projects constitute about 4 1 percent of the proposals submitted to the Fund They have dealt with a variety of educational topics and have involved many types of public and private postsecondary insti- tutions and agencies. Our survey was conducted primarily at HEW headquarters. We reviewed several proposals for projects both completed and ongoing, and visited certain projects in the Washington, D.C area. We discussed the Fund's activities with officials from several HEW offices and reviewed the relevant legislation, regulations, and criteria and guidance for carrying out the Fund's activities. ~94k# 0 /O 0'7
