Opportunity Summary:
The Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA) Fellowship Program (CFDA 84.019A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to support overseas research by faculty at U.S. institutions of higher education. Its core aim is to strengthen modern foreign language and area studies expertise by giving faculty members the chance to conduct research abroad, typically in regions and languages that are central to building U.S. capacity in international education. The program is summarized in the funding opportunity notice, but the controlling details (eligibility rules, selection criteria, priorities, required forms, performance measures, and submission instructions) are those published in the official Federal Register notice.
In this competition, the eligible applicants are Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs), including public/state-controlled and private institutions. Even though the research is carried out by individual faculty members, the structure of the application process runs through the institution: faculty prepare and submit their individual application materials to their home IHE first, and then the IHE compiles and officially submits the set of eligible faculty applications as part of the institution’s grant submission to the Department. In other words, faculty do not apply directly to the Department as standalone applicants; the institution serves as the formal applicant and submitting entity.
Applications must be submitted electronically through the Department of Education’s e-Grants system using the e-Application process available via the e-Grants portal (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice emphasizes that application data are entered online by both the institution and the faculty applicant and saved into the system database, and that applicants are not allowed to submit an electronic copy of the application by email in place of the required electronic submission. For technical issues with the submission platform, the e-Grants Helpdesk number is listed as 1-888-336-8930.
For the specific cycle reflected in the notice, the opportunity was posted on October 22, 2008, with applications made available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications set for December 3, 2008 (with an archive date of January 2, 2009). The estimated total funding amount was $1,395,000, with an expected 23 awards, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is education, consistent with the program’s focus on advancing international and language-related scholarship and capacity within higher education.
The announcement provides pointers for where to get the definitive instructions and supporting details. It notes that free public access to the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations is available through GPO Access (as cited in the notice), and it directs applicants to consult the official Federal Register application notice for items like pre-application and application requirements, application submission information, performance measures, priorities, and program contact information. It also includes a link to the Notice Inviting Applications for new awards for FY 2009. For contact support, the notice lists Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND System Admin, 202-245-6140, julius.cotton@ed.gov) for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, and Carla White (International Education Programs Service, U.S. Department of Education, 1990 K Street NW, Room 6000, Washington, DC 20006-8521; 202-502-7631) as the program manager contact.
