Several Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) and National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded exchange projects are presented by reviewing proposals for FIPSE, and doing `pre-submission' reviews for clients. The problems that can be fatal to a funding proposal are discussed, after which recommendations are given for planning an exchange program. The observations are based on proposals for the program entitled `European Community/USA Joint Consortia for Cooperation in Higher Vocational Education'. This program supports new working relationships among academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and industry, with a special interest in student internships.
