II. Award Information
Type of Award: Discretionary grants.
Estimated Available Funds: The
Administration has requested
$13,372,000 for the Overseas programs
for FY 2009, of which we intend to
allocate $2,353,370 for new short-term
projects under the Fulbright-Hays Group
Projects Abroad Program. 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 appropriates funds
for this program.
Note: As part of its FY 2009 budget request,
the Administration proposed to continue to
allow funds under this program to be used
to support the participation of individuals
who plan to apply their language skills and
knowledge of countries vital to the United
States’s national security in fields outside
teaching, including government, the
professions, or international development.
Therefore, institutions of higher education
may propose projects for visits and study in
foreign countries by individuals in these
fields, in addition to those planning a
teaching career. However, authority to use
funds for participants outside of the field of
teaching depends on final congressional
action. Applicants will be given an
opportunity to amend their applications if
this authority is not provided.
Estimated Range of Awards: $50,000–
$90,000.
Estimated Average Size of Awards:
$78,446.
Estimated Number of Awards: 30.
Note: The Department is not bound by any
estimates in this notice.
Project Period: Up to 12 months.
