Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education Language Resource Centers (LRC) Program, CFDA 84.229A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help colleges and universities build and sustain Language Resource Centers that strengthen the nation s ability to teach and learn foreign languages. The core idea of the program is capacity building: funded centers are expected to serve as campus and broader community resources that improve language instruction and learning, often by developing expertise, materials, training, and other supports that can be shared beyond a single department or institution. In other words, the program is aimed at improving the overall infrastructure for foreign language education, not just funding individual courses or isolated activities.
The opportunity was posted on March 5, 2010, with applications made available the same day, and it set an application transmittal deadline of April 20, 2010. The total estimated funding for this competition was about $5,022,000, with an expected 15 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants were not required to contribute non federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award (though projects may still choose to leverage other resources as part of their plan).
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, either applying individually or as a combination/consortium of institutions of higher education. The listing also notes that both public (including public and state controlled) and private institutions of higher education are eligible. Because the synopsis points readers back to the official Federal Register notice for details, the best source for any nuances (for example, definitions of eligible institutional combinations, any limits on the number of applications, or priority structures) is the Notice Inviting Applications referenced in the additional information link.
A key administrative requirement is that applications must be submitted electronically through the Department of Education s e Grants system using e Application (via http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice emphasizes that applicants enter information directly into an online system that saves to a database and that an application cannot be submitted by emailing an electronic copy to the agency. This is important for planning because institutions typically need time for internal approvals, account setup, and ensuring the application package is properly validated in the online system before the deadline.
For applicants looking for the complete rules of the competition, the synopsis repeatedly highlights that this announcement is only a summary and that the authoritative version is the Federal Register publication. That official notice contains the full requirements, including how to apply, any pre application steps, submission instructions, selection criteria, priorities, performance measures, and other compliance details. The notice also points to free public access to the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations through GPO Access (as listed in the posting).
Finally, the announcement provides two main contacts: Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Administrator) for technical access issues related to the announcement or electronic systems, and Cynthia Dudzinski (Program Manager) for programmatic questions about the LRC competition itself. Contact details include phone numbers and email addresses, along with the Department of Education mailing address in Washington, DC for the program office.
