Here's a general cookie cutter allocation. Probably not right for you, but something to give you an idea on how to allocate.
35% large caps
15% small/mid caps
20% international
20% bonds
10% cash

The allocation is something you must decide based on your anticipated retirement date and risk tolerance.

For your 403(b), you are limited to those investment options provided by the employer. With an IRA, you can establish it wherever you wish.
