Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of the Centers for International
Business Education (CIBE) Program is to provide grants to pay the
Federal share of the cost of planning, establishing and operating
Centers for International Business Education that will--
1. Be national resources for the teaching of improved business
techniques, strategies, and methodologies that emphasize the
international context in which business is transacted;
2. Provide instruction in critical foreign languages and
international fields needed to provide an understanding of the cultures
and customs of United States trading partners;
3. Provide research and training in the international aspects of
trade, commerce, and other fields of study;
4. Provide training to students enrolled in the institution, or
combinations of institutions, in which a center is located;
5. Serve as regional resources to businesses proximately located by
offering programs and providing research designed to meet the
international training needs of these businesses; and
6. Serve other faculty, students and institutions of higher
education located within their region.
Under this competition, we are particularly interested in
applications that address the following priorities.
Invitational Priorities: For FY 06 these priorities are
invitational priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) we do not give an
application that meets these
[[Page 59330]]
invitational priorities a competitive or absolute preference over other
applications.
These priorities are:
Invitational Priority 1
Applications that propose innovative approaches to improving the
teaching of foreign languages in a business or professional context,
including the less commonly taught languages.
Invitational Priority 2
Applications that propose programs or activities focused on
homeland security and U.S. international competitiveness.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1130-1.
Applicable Regulations: (a) The Education Department General
Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) in 34 CFR parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 82,
84, 85, 86, 97, 98, and 99.
As there are no program-specific regulations, we encourage each
potential applicant to read the authorizing statute for the CIBE
program in section 612 of title VI, part B, of the Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended (HEA), 20 U.S.C. 1130-1.
II. Award Information
Type of Award: Discretionary grants.
Estimated Available Funds: The Administration has requested
$10,775,000 for new awards under this program for FY 2006. The actual
level of funding, if any, depends on final congressional action.
However, we are inviting applications to allow enough time to complete
the grant process if Congress awards funds for this program.
Estimated Range of Awards: $200,000-$450,000.
Estimated Average Size of Awards: $360,000.
Maximum Award: We will reject any application that proposes a
budget exceeding $450,000 for a single budget period of 12 months. The
Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education may change the maximum
amount through a notice published in the Federal Register.
Estimated Number of Awards: 30.
Note: The Department is not bound by any estimates in this
notice.
Project Period: Up to 48 months.
III. Eligibility Information
1. Eligible Applicants: Institutions of higher education or
consortia of such institutions.
2. Cost Sharing or Matching: The matching requirement is described
in section 612(e) of the HEA. The statute requires that the Federal
share of the cost of planning, establishing and operating centers under
this program shall be--
a. not more than 90 percent for the first year in which Federal
funds are received;
b. not more than 70 percent for the second year and
c. not more than 50 percent for the third year and for each year
thereafter.
The non-Federal share of the cost of planning, establishing, and
operating centers under this section may be provided either in cash or
in-kind.
Waiver of non-Federal share: In the case of an institution of
higher education receiving a grant under the CIBE program and
conducting outreach or consortia activities with another institution of
higher education in accordance with section 612(c)(2)(E) of the HEA,
the Secretary may waive a portion of the requirements for the non-
Federal share equal to the amount provided by the institution of higher
education receiving the grant to the other institution of higher
education for carrying out the outreach or consortia activities. Any
such waiver is subject to the terms and conditions the Secretary deems
necessary for carrying out the purposes of the program.

3. Submission Dates and Times:
Applications Available: October 12, 2005.
Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: In light of the damage
caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita we are establishing two separate
deadlines for the submission of applications for grants under this
competition to permit potential applicants affected by Hurricanes
Katrina and/or Rita additional time to submit their applications. We
are establishing a General Deadline for all applicants, and an Extended
Deadline for potential applicants who have been affected by Hurricanes
Katrina and/or Rita and are located in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama,
Mississippi, and Florida. Specifically, the Extended Deadline applies
only to: (1) institutions of higher education, SEAs, LEAs, non-profit
organizations and other public or private organization applicants that
are located in a federally-declared disaster area as determined by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) (see https://www.fema.gov/
news/disasters.fema) and that were adversely affected by Hurricanes
Katrina and/or Rita, and (2) individual applicants who reside or
resided, on the disaster declaration date, in a federally-declared
disaster area as determined by FEMA (see https://www.fema.gov/news/
[[Page 59331]]
disasters.fema) and were adversely affected by Hurricanes Katrina and/
or Rita. These applicants must provide a certification in their
application that they meet the criteria for submitting an application
on the Extended Deadline, and be prepared to provide appropriate
supporting documentation, if requested. If the applicant is submitting
the application electronically, submission of the application serves as
the applicant's attestation that they meet the criteria for submitting
an application on the Extended Deadline.
The following chart provides the applicable deadlines for the
submission of applications. If this program is subject to Executive
Order 12372, the relevant deadline for intergovernmental review is also
indicated in the chart.

6. Other Submission Requirements: Applications for grants under
this program must be submitted electronically unless you qualify for an
exception to this requirement in accordance with the instructions in

application in paper format.
You must submit all documents electronically, including
the Application for Federal Education Assistance (ED 424), Budget

Prior to submitting your electronic application, you may
wish to print a copy of it for your records.
After you electronically submit your application, you will
receive an automatic acknowledgment that will include a PR/Award number

We may request that you provide us original signatures on

extended, an e-mail will be sent to all registered users who have
initiated an e-Application. Extensions referred to in this section
apply only to the unavailability of the Department's e-Application

date (14 calendar days or, if the fourteenth calendar day before the

to the Department, explaining which of the two grounds for an exception
prevent you from using the Internet to submit your application. If you

your written statement to the Department, we must receive the faxed
statement no later than two weeks before the application deadline date.
