Opportunity Summary:
The Native American Serving Nontribal Institutions (NASNTI) program (CFDA 84.382C) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to strengthen eligible institutions of higher education that serve significant numbers of Native American undergraduate students. It sits alongside a related effort, the Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) program, and both are intended to help colleges and universities improve academic quality, build long-term financial and operational self-sufficiency, and expand institutional capacity to better support and serve their student populations. The underlying idea is to provide targeted federal support to institutions that educate underserved minority student groups, so they can make improvements that translate into stronger outcomes for students and more resilient institutions overall.
Eligibility is based on an institution meeting the statutory definition of either an AANAPISI or an NASNTI. For NASNTI specifically, a college or university must have at least 10 percent Native American undergraduate enrollment at the time of application. For AANAPISI, the threshold is at least 10 percent undergraduate enrollment of Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander students. The opportunity is open to qualifying institutions of higher education, including public and state-controlled institutions and private institutions, as long as they meet the relevant enrollment-based definition. The authorizing statute is Section 499A and Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (20 U.S.C. 1099e), which is the primary federal authority for a range of capacity-building programs focused on minority-serving institutions.
For the FY 2008 competition described in the notice, the Department expected to make about four awards, with an estimated total funding level of $5,000,000. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed is $1,250,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated for this opportunity, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant, based on the synopsis provided.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and applicants were required to use the downloadable application package associated with the CFDA number. A key procedural detail is that applicants must search using the base CFDA number without the alphabetic suffix (so, search for 84.382 rather than 84.382C). The process described involves downloading the application package, completing it offline, and then uploading and submitting it through Grants.gov; applications could not be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. For this specific posting, applications were made available on May 12, 2008, with a deadline for transmittal of applications on June 26, 2008, and an archive date of July 26, 2008.
The synopsis also emphasizes that the brief opportunity description is not a substitute for the official Federal Register notice. Applicants are directed to the formal notice for the full set of requirements and details, including pre-application and application instructions, submission rules, performance measures, priorities, and program contacts. For assistance with technical issues related to Grants.gov, the Grants.gov Helpdesk is provided (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov). The announcement also lists contacts at the Department of Education, including Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov System Administrator) for access issues and Darlene Collins (Program Manager) for program-related questions, with phone numbers and email addresses included in the notice.
