Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program (CFDA 84.022A) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Education grant opportunity designed to support doctoral candidates who need to conduct full-time dissertation research outside the United States. The program focuses specifically on modern foreign languages and area studies, with the broader goal of strengthening and improving U.S. capacity in these fields. In practical terms, the fellowship is meant to help produce deep, on-the-ground scholarship that contributes to language expertise and regional knowledge that can be brought back into U.S. higher education and research.
A key structural point is that the eligible applicants are institutions of higher education (IHEs), including public/state-controlled and private colleges and universities. Students do not apply directly to the Department of Education as standalone applicants. Instead, students prepare and submit their individual fellowship materials to their university, and the IHE compiles and submits the eligible student applications as part of the institution's overall grant submission to the Department. This makes the campus role central: the institution acts as the official applicant and conduit, while the student is the fellowship beneficiary whose dissertation project is being proposed for support.
The application process is electronic and must be submitted through the Department of Education's G5 system (www.G5.gov). The notice emphasizes that both the IHE and the student applicant will enter information into the online system, which stores the submission data in a database. It also clearly states that applications cannot be submitted by emailing electronic copies to the Department, meaning applicants must follow the G5 workflow and submission requirements laid out in the official Federal Register notice.
For the specific competition described in the synopsis, the opportunity was posted May 2, 2013, with applications made available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of June 3, 2013. The estimated total funding amount listed is $3,036,237, and the expected number of awards is 86. The listing indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to provide institutional or third-party matching funds as a condition of eligibility or award (though applicants still need to follow all budget rules in the official notice).
Because the text provided is explicitly described as a synopsis, the controlling details for eligibility nuances, selection criteria, priorities, performance measures, and the exact pre-application and application requirements are contained in the official application notice published in the Federal Register. The synopsis directs prospective applicants to consult that official notice for the complete rules, and it notes that the Federal Register and related regulations can be accessed online through GPO Access.
For help or technical issues accessing the announcement or systems, the notice lists a grants systems contact (Julius Cotton, ED Grants.gov/FIND Systems Admin, 202-245-6288, EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov). For programmatic questions, it lists the program manager, Stephanie McKissic, International and Foreign Language Education, U.S. Department of Education, with contact details including telephone (202) 502-7589 and email ddra@ed.gov.
