Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Title III, Part F Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions (ANNH) Program includes a funding opportunity specifically for Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions under CFDA 84.031V. This is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Education under Section 371 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended). The basic goal is institutional strengthening: providing resources to eligible colleges and universities so they can improve and expand their capacity to serve Native Hawaiian (and, under the broader ANNH umbrella, Alaska Native) students. In practice, that means funds can be used to plan, develop, or implement activities that build the institution itself, with an emphasis on improvements that translate into better services, supports, and outcomes for the target student populations.
For the FY 2014 competition referenced in the notice, the government anticipated making about 12 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $17,020,470. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, uses the grant funding instrument, and falls under the education funding activity category, specifically higher education institutional aid (CFDA 84.031). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this competition, which typically means applicants are not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is limited and tied to a prior designation process under Title III, Part F. An institution must first be designated as an eligible institution for the ANNH Programs, and only institutions that applied for and received that designation through the Department of Education process were allowed to submit an application for this particular competition. Beyond that gatekeeping step, the notice highlights the enrollment thresholds that define the serving status at the time of application: to qualify as a Native Hawaiian Serving Institution, the institution must have an undergraduate enrollment that is at least 10 percent Native Hawaiian (see 34 CFR 607.2(f)). For context, the parallel Alaska Native Serving Institution threshold is at least 20 percent Alaska Native undergraduate enrollment (34 CFR 607.2(e)), though this specific opportunity is the Native Hawaiian track (84.031V). Institutions also must meet the standard Title III, Part F eligibility requirements, including being accredited or preaccredited by a nationally recognized accreditor the Secretary recognizes as a reliable authority on educational quality, being legally authorized by the state to operate as a junior college or offer programs leading to a bachelors degree, and demonstrating both the enrollment of needy students and low average educational and general expenditures per full-time equivalent undergraduate student (as described in 34 CFR 607.3 and 34 CFR 607.4).
Applications for this program had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, using the government-wide "Apply" portal. The process described is the typical Grants.gov workflow: download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the site. The notice is explicit that applicants may not submit an application by emailing it to the Department. When searching for the application package, applicants were instructed to search by the base CFDA number (84.031) and not include the alpha suffix (so, search "84.031" rather than "84.031V"). Key dates listed for the FY 2014 competition were that applications became available on April 14, 2014, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was June 2, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on July 2, 2014.
The synopsis also stresses that it is not a substitute for the official Federal Register notice. Critical elements that often drive how proposals should be written, such as the specific selection criteria, any absolute or competitive priorities, required performance measures, formatting rules, page limits, and detailed submission requirements, are contained in the official application notice. Applicants were directed to consult the Federal Register version for authoritative requirements and to use public online access to the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations.
Finally, the posting provides points of contact for both technical and program questions. Grants.gov or system-access issues were directed to Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) at 202-245-6288 or EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov. Programmatic questions were directed to the program manager, LaTonya Brown, at the U.S. Department of Education, 1990 K Street NW, Room 6029, Washington, DC 20006-8513, phone 202-502-7619, email latonya.brown@ed.gov.
