Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA) Fellowship Program (CFDA 84.019A) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education to support overseas research by faculty at U.S. institutions of higher education. The program is designed to strengthen modern foreign language and area studies expertise by giving faculty members the chance to conduct research abroad that directly contributes to their scholarship and, by extension, the international and language capacity of U.S. higher education. In practical terms, it is aimed at projects where being in the foreign location is essential to the research, such as working with archives, field sites, local institutions, or language resources tied to a particular region.
Eligibility is structured around institutions rather than individuals applying straight to the Department. Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education (including public, state-controlled, and private IHEs). Faculty members prepare individual applications and submit them to their home institution as part of the internal process. The institution then compiles and formally submits the eligible faculty applications to the Department of Education as its grant application package. This means the school acts as the official applicant and submitting entity, even though the fellowships are awarded in connection with specific faculty research proposals.
For the FY 2011 competition described in the notice, the Department anticipated making about 22 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $1,700,000. The opportunity does not include a cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier for institutions and faculty who may not have access to non-federal funds to supplement the award.
The submission process is electronic only. Applications must be submitted through the Department's e-Application system accessible via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). The notice makes it explicit that neither the institution nor the faculty applicant may email an electronic copy of the application to the Department; the expectation is that data and required materials are entered and transmitted through the online system, where information is saved into a database during completion. This also implies that institutions and applicants need to plan ahead for system access, data entry, and internal routing so everything is finalized before the deadline.
Key dates for this competition were that applications became available on October 1, 2010, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was November 16, 2010. The posting and creation date listed for the opportunity is October 5, 2010, and the archive date is December 16, 2010, reflecting that this particular announcement is from a past cycle, even though it remains useful as a reference point for how the program is typically structured and administered.
Because the text provided is explicitly a synopsis, applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the complete and controlling details. That official notice is where the Department lays out the full eligibility rules, application components, formatting and submission requirements, performance measures, competitive priorities (if any), and program-specific conditions. The synopsis also points readers to free online access to the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations through GPO Access (as listed in the original notice).
For support and questions, the notice provides two main contacts: Julius Cotton, identified as an ED Grants.gov/FIND systems administrator, for technical difficulty accessing the full announcement or related electronic access issues (phone 202-245-6140; email julius.cotton@ed.gov), and Cynthia Dudzinski, the program manager in the International Education Programs Service at the U.S. Department of Education, for programmatic questions (telephone 202-502-7589), with the mailing address listed as 1990 K Street, NW, Room 6007, Washington, DC 20006-8521.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a federally supported pathway for universities to sponsor faculty research stays abroad that deepen U.S. capacity in international studies and modern foreign languages, with applications routed through the faculty member's institution and submitted through the Department of Education's dedicated electronic grants platform.
