Subcontract for Service under the Area Health Education System, Medical Center

(24) On October 18, 1972, the Board of Trustees approved a contract between the National Institutes of Health, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and the University to establish an Area Health Education System in four Illinois Planning Regions. Under terms of that contract, expenses incurred by the University for this purpose are reimbursable. In implementing that agreement the Board of Trustees has approved several subcontracts with other organizations within the State. Among these was a contract with Northern Illinois University, in an amount not to exceed $17,000 for FY 1975. It is now proposed that the contractual relationship with Northern Illinois University be extended for an additional year in an amount not to exceed $50,000. The contract with Northern Illinois University provides for baccalaureate degree level instruction in nursing science in the Rockford area. Specifically, the proposed contract would provide for: 1. A minimum of six courses of instruction per fall and spring semester 1975-76 of at least three semester credit hours each. 2. A minimum of four courses of instruction for summer school 1976 of at least three semester credit hours each. 3. Reimbursement of Northern Illinois University for actual costs incurred for the salaries and benefits of two full-time faculty and one part-time secretary, in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for the total contract period. Funds are available from the current contract with the Federal Government, and approval of the subcontract by Federal officials has already been obtained. T h e Chancellor at the Medical Center recommends approval of this contract. T h e Vice President for Administration and the Vice President for Academic Affairs concur. I recommend approval.
