| Abstract: |
This report contains the following information in regard to the Women's Educational Equity Act: a brief description of the original and reauthorizing legislation, analysis of grant applications received and funded in the 1979 fiscal year, summaries of grant and contract awards for the fiscal year, and identification of products developed under project funding to be disseminated. Data presented in the statistical summaries of program efforts for fiscal 1979 include an analysis of applications received and grants awarded in terms of distribution by HEW region, levels of education, type of applicant, major target groups, special population groups, type of grant activity, and special academic areas. The summary of grant and contract awards for the fiscal year reflects the Act's support of a broad range of activities that target areas of education which perpetuate sex bias toward the purpose of providing educational equity for women. Information provided in the descriptions of grants and contracts awarded includes title, institution, grant amount, duration, director, and brief description with objectives. A list of publications developed under the Act's contracts is also included. (YLB) |
