	Introduction
		The Consortium of Appalachian Centers and Institutes, an educational and research coalition of Appalachian Studies organizations in higher education, would like to propose a collaborative teaching and research project for funding consideration by the Appalachian Regional Commission.
		When Dr. Jesse White was appointed as Federal Co-chairman of the Commission in the early 1990s, directors of the academic centers traveled to Washington to meet with him and the Commission staff to share issues of concern and to express a desire for mutual cooperation in research and policy-making for the region.
		During the course, students should become familiar with the structure and work of the Appalachian Regional Commission, the State Alternate and program manager for their state, and their local development districts and engage those entities in the work as feasible and appropriate.
