The Faculty Scholars Program (FSP) Network is a network of computing systems set up in order to provide electronic mail and file transfer facilities for faculty at a number of Appalachian Colleges, as a means of helping them to maintain contacts with the University of Kentucky and other major research institutions.This NSF-funded project provides equipment which allows computers in the FSP Network to be used in five Appalachian colleges' instructional programs, especially in computer science and mathematics. The grant is managed by the Faculty Scholars Program at the University of Kentucky, and provides terminals and printers to member schools for use with the FSP Network equipment for specific instructional projects. Results of these projects are disseminated by means of the network; projects done at one school are typically applicable at the other schools.By taking advantage of an existing network and already existing computer systems with an established means of software support, it is possible with a limited budget to add multi-user state-of-the- art computing systems to the instructional programs of several colleges. Each school benefits substantially from the efforts of the other schools in the network.NSF grant funds for equipment are being matched with funds from non-federal sources.

教员学者计划（FSP）网络是一个计算机系统网络，旨在为阿巴拉契亚学院的教员提供电子邮件和文件传输设施，帮助他们与肯塔基大学和其他主要研究机构保持联系。这个由美国国家科学基金会资助的项目提供设备，使FSP网络中的计算机能够用于五所阿巴拉契亚大学的教学项目，特别是计算机科学和数学。该拨款由肯塔基大学的教师学者计划管理，并为成员学校提供终端和打印机，用于特定教学项目的FSP网络设备。这些项目的成果通过网络传播；在一所学校完成的项目通常适用于其他学校。通过利用现有的网络和现有的计算机系统，以及已建立的软件支持手段，可以在有限的预算下为几所大学的教学计划增加多用户的最先进的计算机系统。每个学校都从网络中其他学校的努力中受益匪浅。美国国家科学基金会对设备的拨款与来自非联邦来源的资金相匹配。
