Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) Program (CFDA 84.016A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education designed to help strengthen and improve undergraduate instruction in international studies and foreign languages across the United States. In practical terms, the program supports institutions and organizations that want to plan, develop, and carry out projects that expand the quality, reach, and effectiveness of internationally focused curricula and foreign language education at the undergraduate level. The synopsis provided for the opportunity is based on the official Federal Register notice, and applicants are expected to rely on that official notice for the full requirements, priorities, performance measures, and submission rules.
For the FY 2014 competition referenced in the listing, the Department anticipated making about 31 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $2,928,529. The award ceiling listed is $95,000, and the program includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal grant funds. The funding instrument type is a standard grant, and the activity category is education. The opportunity was posted June 11, 2014, with applications available the same day and a deadline for transmittal of applications of July 28, 2014. The listing was later archived on August 27, 2014, which generally indicates that this specific competition cycle has closed, though the program itself may reappear in future years depending on appropriations and new notices.
Eligibility is broad but focused on education-related entities. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, consortia of institutions of higher education, partnerships between nonprofit educational organizations and institutions of higher education, and other public or private nonprofit agencies and organizations, including professional and scholarly associations. This structure is meant to accommodate both single-campus projects and collaborative efforts where multiple institutions or organizations pool expertise to improve undergraduate international studies and language programming.
Applications for this program had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov rather than by email or direct electronic transmission to the Department. Applicants were instructed to locate the application package by searching for CFDA number 84.016 (without the letter suffix), download the forms, complete them offline, and then upload and submit through the Grants.gov system. The announcement emphasizes that emailing an application is not permitted, which is consistent with federal requirements for standardized submission and tracking. Because federal submissions can involve registration steps and system validations, the official notice is the controlling document for technical submission requirements and any exceptions or accommodations.
