ABSTRACT
A module M is called (strongly) FI-extending if every fully invariant submodule is essential in a (fully invariant) direct summand. The class of strongly FI-extending modules is properly contained in the class of FI-extending modules and includes all nonsingular FI-extending (hence nonsingular extending) modules and all semiprime FI-exten ding rings. In this paper we examine the behavior of the class of strongly FI-extending modules with respect to the preservation of this property in submodules, direct summands, direct sums, and endomorphism rings.
