1992. It defines the broad framework of Common Knowledge: Pittsburgh in terms
of educational goals and technical infrastructure.
V.2
Two-year pilot proposal
This proposal corresponds roughly to the first two years of the five-year
networking proposal. Submitted to the NSF in May, 1992, this proposal was
funded for two years (with an allowable six-month spillover) beginning in
January, 1992. Included in the budget of the two-year pilot proposal were
items totalling $360,000 ($130,000 in the first year and $230,000 in the second
year), which were to be funded through supplemental grants proposals. The
present proposal is meant to provide this supplemental funding.
