Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designed to strengthen Tribal Colleges and Universities by supporting both campus facility needs and broader community-focused services. The program is meant to help TCUs build new facilities, expand existing space, renovate aging buildings, and purchase or install equipment needed to operate and grow. At the same time, TCUP emphasizes the role of TCUs as community anchors, encouraging projects that extend beyond the campus to deliver practical services such as health-related programs, job training and workforce development, and activities that support local economic development.
Funding for this TCUP notice totals an estimated $5,000,000, with HUD expecting to make about 6 awards. Individual awards can be as high as $800,000, and there is no required cost sharing or matching contribution listed for applicants. The funding instrument is a grant, and the program aligns with several activity areas, including community development, education, employment and job training, and housing-related community needs, reflecting HUDs interest in TCUs as a platform for strengthening community infrastructure and opportunity.
Eligibility is limited to Tribal Colleges and Universities that meet the statutory definition of a TCU established in Title III of the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Public Law 105-244). Institutions must be either two-year or four-year and fully accredited, or they must indicate in the application abstract that they are a candidate for accreditation by a regional institutional accrediting association recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. A key restriction in this particular funding round is that institutions that received TCUP grants in fiscal year 2008 are not eligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Availability.
The announcement also addresses how multi-campus institutions may apply. Separate applications are allowed for separate campuses of the same institution, but each campus must be clearly distinguishable and independently eligible. That means each campus applying separately needs its own DUNS number, an administrative and budgeting structure independent from other campuses in the system, and it must independently meet the definition of a TCU under the program rules. Only one application may be submitted per campus, and if multiple applications are submitted from the same campus, all applications from that campus will be disqualified, making internal coordination important for institutions with more than one campus.
This opportunity was posted on June 25, 2009, with an application closing date of July 24, 2009. The funding opportunity number is FR 5300 N 27. Application materials and instructions were provided through Grants.gov. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, HUD listed program contacts Sherone Ivey at (202) 402-4200 (Sherone.Ivey@hud.gov) and Susan Brunson at (202) 402-3852 (Susan.S.Brunson@hud.gov).
