The IDEAS grant competition annually awards approximately 20 grants of up to $35,000 each to accredited U.S. colleges and universities physically based in the United States or its territories. The grants support institutions with a broad range of capacity to create, expand, and/or diversify their study abroad programs, including institutions that currently have limited or no experience administering study abroad programs as well as those with established programs.

Program Goals

• Create or expand U.S. colleges and universities’ capacity to administer study abroad programs that are primarily for U.S. undergraduate students and align with U.S. foreign policy goals;
• Increase the number of U.S. undergraduate students studying or interning abroad for academic credit, with an emphasis on diversifying both the students and institutions taking part in study abroad and the destinations to which they travel; and
• Collect, develop, and share best practices for increasing and diversifying study abroad opportunities for U.S. students with the broader U.S. higher education community through trainings and other capacity-building initiatives. 

The IDEAS grant competition is open to U.S. accredited U.S. colleges and universities physically based in the United States or its territories with a broad range of capacity to administer study abroad programs, including institutions that currently have limited or no experience administering study abroad programs as well as those with established programs. Minority-serving institutions are encouraged to apply.

UArizona cannot apply to this funding program during 2023 due to an active award. 

The Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (DHSI) Program provides grants to assist HSIs to expand educational opportunities for, and improve the attainment of, Hispanic students. These grants also enable HSIs to expand and enhance their academic offerings, program quality, and institutional stability.
 

Institutions must be designated as an eligible institution of higher education in order to apply for the Title V program and must meet the program-specific requirements to be defined as an HSI.

To be designated as an eligible institution of higher education, an institution must apply for and receive designation through an application process. Please refer to the most recent Application for Designation as an Eligible Institution. You may contact the program office if you have questions regarding eligibility.

Types of Projects 

Funds may be used for activities such as: scientific or laboratory equipment for teaching; construction or renovation of instructional facilities; faculty development; purchase of educational materials; academic tutoring or counseling programs; funds and administrative management; joint use of facilities; endowment funds; distance learning academic instruction; teacher education; and student support services.

NOTE: The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) amended Section 503(b) of the Higher Education Act to include among the authorized activities under the HSI Program: activities to improve student services, including innovative and customized instruction courses designed to retain students and move the students into core courses; articulation agreements and student support programs designed to facilitate the transfer of students from two-year to four-year institutions; and providing education, counseling services, and financial information designed to improve the financial and economic literacy of students and their families.

The HEOA also amended the authorized activities to use the term "distance education technologies" in place of "distance learning academic instruction capabilities."

Submit UA Limited Submissions Ticket Request

The US Department of State (DOS) issues a range of funding opportunities, and some but not all are limited submissions. Historically RDS has received very few responses to these opportunities. In order to streamline the limited submission process, reduce faculty and administration burden, and determine an institutional selection expeditiously when deadlines are approaching, RDS will not be posting each opportunity individually. We will consider these DOS opportunities to be "Open" under the UArizona Limited Submission Process unless they are specifically designated otherwise on the Limited Submissions Table.

If you would like to search the current opportunities from the Department of State, please visit https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.html and filter under “Agency” for Department of State. Funding opportunities are also available on the Department of State website listed under the Bureau or Office that oversees the program. Before submitting a limited submission ticket request, interested PIs should verify their eligibility to apply for the specific funding opportunity under the University of Arizona RII Principal Investigator Guidelines.

If you find a US Department of State opportunity you would like to apply for, please check the solicitation language to determine whether it is a limited submission. Common phrases indicating it is limited include: “institutions may submit only one application/two applications/etc.,” “multiple applications from an organization are not allowed,” or “organizations are permitted one application per program area/track, etc.” This is usually under the "Eligibility" section of the solicitation. If it is institutionally limited, please submit a pre-proposal through this website at the "Submit UA LS Ticket Request" button above. Under the UArizona Limited Submission Process for "Open" opportunities, PIs/Teams are given priority to submit based on the order in which requests are received.

The application slot(s) for Department of State limited submissions will be filled on a rolling basis, so please request the LS ticket as soon as possible. For any questions or concerns, please contact RDS at limitedsubmissions@email.arizona.edu.

UArizona may submit one proposal.

Review and selection of the UArizona institutional submission will be determined by UA Foundation and RII Leadership. Only pre-proposals for the Large Grant – from $100,000 to $1,000,000 – will be accepted for this internal competition.
