Digital Promise

Digital Promise, also known as the National Center for Research in Advanced Information and Digital Technologies, is a non-profit organization originated by the U.S. Congress as part of the 2008 re-authorization of the Higher Education Act. Its mission is to help bridge the digital divide in education, especially in areas of new media and Internet use.

Funding

While Digital Promise was officially established in August 2008, it has yet to receive funding for the 2009 fiscal year. This is due to in part to a decision by Congress to delay 2009 appropriations bills until after the 2008 U.S. Presidential Election. ^[1]
