News Community Network Evaluation: In June of 2002, TIPI embarked on an 18-month evaluation of the first phase of the Texas Telecommunications Infrastructure Board's Collaborative Community Network Grant program. The 36 communities funded under this first, or "CN1" phase, received grants of up to $500,000 to identify and implement ways to utilize information technologies to link community groups and institutions and support their efforts to enhance education, health care, public services and economic and social development. The assessment began in June 2002 and should conclude in mid-2003. TIPI's Jody Waters, a recent graduate of the Ph.D. program in the Department of Radio-TV-Film, directs the project. Dr. Sharon Strover, TIPI Director, and Dr. Gary Chapman, TIPI Associate Director, are the principal investigators. TIPI graduate research associates Carolyn Cunningham, Holly Custard, and Chris Lucas also are assisting.
