Opportunity Summary:
The Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) grant opportunity, CFDA 84.382B, is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education under the Strengthening Minority-Serving Institutions umbrella. It is authorized by Section 499A and Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1099e). The core aim is institutional capacity-building: helping eligible colleges and universities improve academic quality, increase institutional self-sufficiency, and strengthen their overall ability to serve students, particularly those populations tied to the program designations.
Eligibility is tied to whether an institution meets the statutory definition of either an AANAPISI or a Native American-Serving Nontribal Institution (NASNTI). To qualify as an AANAPISI, the institution must have an undergraduate enrollment that is at least 10 percent Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander students. To qualify as an NASNTI, the institution must have an undergraduate enrollment that is at least 10 percent Native American students at the time of application. The eligible applicant types listed include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with the key condition being that the institution meets one of the two MSI definitions above (the notice indicates there may be additional eligibility clarifications in the official Federal Register application notice).
For this specific competition cycle (FY 2008), the opportunity anticipated approximately 4 awards with an estimated total funding level of $5,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $1,250,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award (though applicants still typically must show a credible plan, budget, and capacity to carry out proposed activities as required in the official notice).
The application process is entirely electronic through Grants.gov. Applicants are expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the Grants.gov system; emailing an application is not allowed. A practical detail in the notice is that applicants must search for the application package by the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they should search for 84.382 rather than 84.382B. The posting date and applications available date were May 12, 2008, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of June 26, 2008, and an archive date of July 26, 2008. The funding opportunity number is ED-GRANTS-051208-001.
The synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that it is not the official governing document, and that applicants should rely on the Federal Register notice for the full requirements. That official notice is where an institution would find the detailed eligibility rules, any absolute or competitive priorities, required components of the narrative and budget, performance measures, formatting and page limits, and other submission and compliance instructions. For help with the electronic posting or access issues, the notice references a Grants.gov helpdesk (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov) and also lists Department of Education contacts, including Julius Cotton for system access issues and Program Manager Darlene Collins for program-related questions.
