Opportunity Summary:
The Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) Program, CFDA 84.016A, is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education to support projects that strengthen international studies and foreign language capacity at the undergraduate level. The funding opportunity notice provided is a synopsis of the official Federal Register announcement, which is the controlling source for all requirements such as eligibility rules, application content, priorities, performance measures, and submission instructions. Applicants are expected to rely on the Federal Register notice for the complete and legally authoritative guidance.
Applications for this competition must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. The Department makes clear that applicants cannot submit an application by emailing it; instead, applicants must download the application package from Grants.gov, complete it offline, and upload it back through the Grants.gov system. When searching on Grants.gov, applicants must look up the opportunity using the CFDA number without the letter suffix, meaning they should search for 84.016 rather than 84.016A. For technical issues with the electronic submission platform, the Grants.gov Helpdesk is available at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov.
