q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Tabulation of Chicago Challenge grant records cross-tabulated against school descriptive data for the 1995 cycle. The authors report that "85 percent of the funded pro- posals" came from higher-education or community-based partners; they also print that higher-education institutions' funded share was 49 percent of requests and 57 percent of dollars.

"Higher education or community-based partners submitted 85 percent of the funded pro- posals, and all but one of the first-year implementation grants had such partners."

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Same grant-record analysis of the 1995 cycle. The authors report business, labor, foundation, and government partner networks received "only 14 percent of the grants and 7 per- cent of the dollars awarded in 1995," with 66 percent of such proposals rejected.

"At the other end of the spectrum, networks with external partners from the business, labor, foun- dation, and government sectors (including CPS and federally funded organizations) together re- ceived only 14 percent of the grants and 7 per- cent of the dollars awarded in 1995. Sixty-six percent of the proposals from networks with external partners in these sectors were rejected."
