Merit Stimulus Blog 11.16.09
By Gregory Monroe - November 16, 2009 9:50 am

Greetings!

Welcome back to Merit Network's continuing coverage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.

This post is just one of many weekly updates intended to keep you informed on the latest developments in funding opportunities for cyber-infrastructure, research and education.

If you were unable to read last week's post due to the delay in publication, we recommend that you take a look here. It contains more useful information about the latest winners of state broadband mapping grants, service area protests on the Broadband USA searchable database of applications and the Rural Health Care Pilot Program Project's Request For Proposal (RFP) for a Rural Health Care Network in Michigan.

The anticipated Request for Information (RFI) from NTIA and RUS regarding the second (and now final) round of funding for BTOP and BIP appears in today's Federal Register. The joint RFI gives respondents only a 14-day window. Comments are due November 30 at 5pm EST. Interested parties are encouraged to file comments electronically via e-mail to the address broadbandrfi@ntia.doc.gov. The notice in the Federal Register also contains guidelines and specific questions for comment�though any input is welcome.

The FCC will accept public comment on the needs of education in the context of the National Broadband Plan, including ways to improve and modify the E-rate program until this coming Friday, November 20. Details are included in this public notice. If you miss the Friday deadline, not to worry. There will be a follow-up window to reply to initial comments that will close on December 11.

The FCC also currently seeks public comment on broadband deployment and adoption on Tribal Lands. More information is contained in this public notice. Comments are due December 9th.

Thanks for reading and have a great week!
