Opportunity Summary:
The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) Comprehensive Program (CFDA 84.116B) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education that focuses on improving postsecondary education through innovation. The central goal is to fund reforms and significant improvements that address problems of national significance, meaning the Department is looking for projects that tackle widely felt challenges in higher education rather than narrow, purely local issues. A major theme of the program is that successful projects should be strong enough to serve as national models, so proposals are generally expected to produce approaches, practices, or results that can be replicated or adapted by other institutions and systems.
This opportunity supports both grants and cooperative agreements aimed at stimulating new ideas and meaningful change in colleges, universities, and related educational settings. While the synopsis does not list specific topical priorities, it emphasizes innovation and measurable improvement in postsecondary education, along with the expectation that funded work will contribute lessons or practices that extend beyond a single campus. Applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register notice for the full requirements, including application instructions, performance measures, selection priorities, and any pre-application steps, because the posted description is only a condensed summary.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at institutions of higher education (IHEs). Eligible applicants include individual IHEs as well as combinations or partnerships of IHEs and other public or private nonprofit institutions and agencies. In practical terms, that means a college or university may apply on its own, or it may apply as part of a consortium or collaboration that includes nonprofit partners, government entities, or other qualifying organizations, as long as the arrangement fits the definitions and conditions spelled out in the official notice. The opportunity explicitly states that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds.
For the FY 2010 competition referenced in the notice, the Department anticipated making about 37 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $27,307,000. The opportunity was posted and made available on June 14, 2010, with a deadline for transmittal of applications of July 29, 2010, and an archive date of August 28, 2010. The funding opportunity number associated with this posting is ED-GRANTS-061410-006, and the funding activity category is Education.
Applications for CFDA 84.116B were required to be submitted electronically through the Department of Educations e-Application system via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice highlights that applicants enter data directly into an online system that saves information to a database, and it clearly states that applicants may not email an electronic copy of a grant application to the Department as a substitute for proper electronic submission. Because electronic submission can involve system access, registration, and formatting rules, applicants are repeatedly encouraged to consult the Federal Register application notice for the definitive submission requirements and timelines.
For help accessing the full announcement or dealing with system issues, the posting lists a technical contact: Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Administrator (202-245-6140; julius.cotton@ed.gov). It also lists a program contact for substantive questions: Program Manager Levenia Ishmell, Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, U.S. Department of Education, 1990 K Street NW, Room 6154, Washington, DC 20006-8544 (202-502-7500). The official notice inviting applications for new awards for FY 2010 is provided as the primary reference point for applicants who need exact eligibility language, required forms and narratives, evaluation criteria, and reporting expectations.
