Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 060618 001
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) Program (CFDA 84.016A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen the quality of undergraduate education in international studies and foreign languages across the United States. The program’s central aim is to fund the planning, development, and implementation of initiatives that improve what colleges and universities offer to undergraduates in terms of global and regional knowledge, language learning, and broader international competency. In practical terms, the grant supports projects that build or enhance curriculum, expand language instruction, and reinforce international studies programming so that students graduate with stronger skills and understanding in these areas.
This opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 060618 001, with applications made available on June 6, 2018 and a deadline for transmittal of applications on July 26, 2018. The Department anticipated making about 24 awards, and the listed award ceiling was $150,000 per award. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is education, reflecting that this program is meant to directly support educational capacity-building rather than, for example, construction or purely scientific research.
Eligible applicants include a broad range of higher education and nonprofit entities. Specifically, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education are eligible, as are nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an “Others” category, with the note that applicants should consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. This mix of eligible entities signals that the Department is open to proposals coming directly from colleges and universities as well as from nonprofit organizations that may partner with institutions or otherwise contribute to strengthening undergraduate international and language education.
For the mechanics of how to obtain and submit an application, the notice points applicants to the Department of Education’s “Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs,” which were published in the Federal Register on February 12, 2018 (83 FR 6003). Those instructions provide the official, government-wide style guidance on where to submit, what systems or formats may be required, and the standard procedural requirements that apply across many Department discretionary grant competitions. The announcement directs applicants to access those instructions through the Federal Register posting available online at the Government Publishing Office site.
Overall, UISFL (84.016A) is essentially a capacity-building funding opportunity for institutions and related organizations that want to improve undergraduate international studies and foreign language offerings. It supports work that helps institutions plan and execute meaningful enhancements to instruction in these areas, with a defined application window (June to late July 2018 in this posting), a maximum award level stated as $150,000, and an expected portfolio of roughly two dozen funded projects.Apply for ED GRANTS 060618 001
