Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Centers for International Business Education (CIBE) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education under CFDA 84.220A. Its core purpose is to strengthen U.S. trade and economic competitiveness by funding higher education efforts that expand international business capacity. In practical terms, the program supports projects that build or improve international business curriculum, conduct research, and provide training focused on issues that matter to U.S. trade and competitiveness. The opportunity is framed as a synopsis of the official Federal Register notice, meaning the definitive rules, priorities, performance measures, and application requirements are contained in the Federal Register publication rather than the summary text.
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education (IHEs), including public and state-controlled institutions and private institutions, as well as consortia of IHEs. The listing indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal award (the exact structure and allowability details would be in the official notice). The Department anticipated making about 16 awards under this competition, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,571,400 and an award ceiling of $365,000 per grant.
Applications for this CIBE competition had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the downloadable application package associated with CFDA 84.220 (not 84.220A, since the alpha suffix is not used for the search). Applicants were expected to download the package, complete it offline, and upload it through Grants.gov; emailing an application directly to the Department was not permitted. Key dates for the FY 2014 competition were an applications-available date of June 3, 2014, and a deadline for transmittal of July 3, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on August 2, 2014.
For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement or navigating the electronic submission process, the notice provided a Grants.gov systems contact (Julius Cotton) and a program manager contact (Timothy Duvall) at the U.S. Department of Education. For anything that affects competitiveness or compliance (such as required components, formatting, page limits, selection criteria, competitive priorities, matching requirements, and reporting/performance measures), the Federal Register notice is the controlling source and should be reviewed closely before preparing an application.
