Opportunity Summary:
The Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA) Fellowship Program (CFDA 84.019A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education, designed to support overseas research by college and university faculty. The core purpose of the program is to create time and resources for faculty at institutions of higher education (IHEs) to conduct research abroad that strengthens modern foreign language expertise and area studies knowledge. In practice, the program is aimed at building deeper academic capacity in the United States by helping faculty produce research, scholarship, and other outcomes that depend on sustained engagement in foreign settings and languages.
Eligibility is structured around institutions rather than direct individual submissions. The eligible applicants are IHEs, and faculty members participate by submitting their individual fellowship applications to their home institution as part of the campus process. The institution then compiles and formally submits all eligible faculty applications to the Department of Education as part of the institution-level grant application. This means the IHE functions as the official applicant and the administrative hub for submitting and managing the collection of faculty proposals, even though the fellowship activity itself is the faculty member's research abroad.
Applications must be submitted electronically through the Department of Education's e-Application system, accessible via the e-Grants website (http://e-grants.ed.gov). Paper applications are not accepted and will be rejected unless the institution qualifies for a specific exception to the electronic submission requirement. To use an exception, the institution must provide a written statement to the Department establishing that it qualifies, and that statement must be submitted no later than two weeks before the application deadline. For technical issues related to electronic submission, the e-Application Helpdesk is available at 1-800-336-8930.
For the competition referenced in the notice, the opportunity was posted on October 5, 2009, with applications made available the same day, and the deadline for transmittal of applications set for December 1, 2009. The opportunity anticipated making about 20 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,399,000. Individual award amounts were expected to fall within a range: a floor of $70,000 and a ceiling of $115,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of applying.
The listing identifies the funding instrument type as a grant and categorizes the activity area as education. It is labeled as a discretionary opportunity, meaning awards are made through a competitive process based on the requirements and selection criteria described in the official Federal Register notice. The synopsis also emphasizes that the brief description is only an overview and that the authoritative requirements, definitions, and instructions are those published in the Federal Register.
