Opportunity Summary:
The Hispanic Serving Institutions STEM and Articulation program is a U.S. Department of Education discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ED-GRANTS-032511-002) authorized under section 371 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. Its central purpose is to provide federal support to eligible Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) so they can strengthen and expand their ability to serve Hispanic students and other low-income students, particularly through improvements tied to STEM education and articulation-related efforts. In practice, this means the program is aimed at building institutional capacity: helping HSIs develop and carry out projects that improve academic pathways, strengthen programs, and support student success in STEM and related transition pipelines.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, and the Department anticipated a relatively large number of awards (104 expected) with an estimated total program funding amount of $99,900,000 for the competition cycle described. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, which generally signals that applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award (though applicants still typically need to present reasonable, well-justified budgets and may propose leveraged resources as part of their project design).
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education that qualify as eligible HSIs. Those institutions may apply for new awards under two grant types referenced in the notice: Individual Development Grants and Cooperative Arrangement Development Grants. The synopsis indicates that more detailed eligibility definitions and requirements are contained in the official Federal Register notice, and that applicants should rely on that official publication for authoritative rules, selection criteria, and application instructions.
Applications for this competition had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email or other methods. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching the CFDA number without the alpha suffix, meaning they should search for 84.031 rather than 84.031C. The application package became available on March 25, 2011, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was April 29, 2011. The opportunity was subsequently archived on May 29, 2011. For technical submission issues, the notice directs applicants to the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
The administering agency is the U.S. Department of Education, and the listing places the program under CFDA 84.031 (Higher Education Institutional Aid). For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement or clarifying program questions, the notice provides agency contacts including Joyce Mays (Management Analyst) at 202-245-6122 and joyce.mays@ed.gov, and Program Manager Carolyn Proctor at 202-502-7567, located at the U.S. Department of Education, 1990 K Street NW, Room 6048, Washington, DC 20006-8513. The synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that it is not a substitute for the Federal Register notice, which is the controlling document for requirements, procedures, and final details.
