Dear Applicant:

Thank you for your interest in applying for a grant under the Title VI
Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL)
Program. Included in this application booklet are the program
introduction, instructions, and forms needed to submit a complete
application package to the U.S. Department of Education.

The UISFL program provides grants to institutions of higher education,
combinations of institutions of higher education, partnerships between
nonprofit educational organizations and institutions of higher
education, and public and private nonprofit agencies and organizations,
including professional and scholarly associations, to strengthen and
improve undergraduate instruction in international studies and foreign
languages.

This letter highlights a few items in the fiscal year (FY) 2007
application package that will be important to you in applying for grants
under this program. You should review the entire application package
carefully before preparing and submitting your application. Information
on the UISFL Program is accessible at the U.S. Department of Education
(Department) Web site at:

<http://www.ed.gov/programs/iegpsugisf/index.html>

Please be sure to thoroughly review the entire application booklet for
information concerning the UISFL Program. Applicants should pay
particular attention to the section entitled, "Competition Highlights"
that outlines the two competitive preference priorities as well as other
program and competition details.

The Department of Education is requiring that applications for FY 2007
grants under the UISFL Program be submitted electronically using
Grants.gov. You are urged to acquaint yourself with the requirements of
Grants.gov early. A more thorough discussion is included in the
application package. Grants.gov is accessible through its portal page
at:

[http://www.grants.gov](http://www.grants.gov/)

It is important to know that the Grants.gov site works differently than
the Department's e-Application system. Please read the important
document on the next page, which explains the submission procedures and
provides tips you need to be aware of to ensure your application is
received in a timely and acceptable manner.

The application must be submitted on or before the deadline date.
Electronic submission of applications is required; therefore, you must
submit an electronic application unless you follow the procedures in the
Closing Date Notice and qualify for one of the exceptions to the
electronic submission requirement. The requirements for obtaining an
exception to the electronic submission have changed. If you think you
may need an exception, you are urged to review the requirements
promptly.

Applications submitted late [will not be accepted]{.underline}. **We
suggest that you submit your application several days before the
deadline date of November 17, 2006**. The Department is required to
enforce the established deadline to ensure fairness to all applicants.
No changes or additions to an application will be accepted after the
deadline date. Please note that Grants.gov does not allow applicants to
"un-submit" applications. If you discover that changes or additions are
needed once your application has been accepted and validated by the
Department, you must "re-submit" the application. You should know that
if the Department receives duplicate applications, we will accept and
process the application with the latest "date/time received" validation.

You are reminded that the document published in the [Federal
Register]{.underline} (the Closing Date Notice) is the official
document, and that you should not rely upon any information that is
inconsistent with the guidance contained within the official document.

A program officer is available to provide technical assistance if you
have any questions after reviewing the application. Please refer to the
introduction that follows for the names and telephone numbers of the
contact persons.

We look forward to receiving your application and appreciate your
efforts to promote excellence in international education.

Sincerely,

/Signed/

Susan E. Beaudoin

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary

for Higher Education Programs

#### Grants.gov Submission Procedures and

####  Tips for Applicants 

**IMPORTANT -- PLEASE READ**

**U.S. Department of Education**

Please note that the Grants.gov site works differently than the U.S.
Department of Education's (Department) e-Application system. To
facilitate your use of Grants.gov, this document includes important
submission procedures you need to be aware of to ensure your application
is received in a timely manner and accepted by the Department of
Education.

1)  **REGISTER EARLY** -- Grants.gov registration is a one-time process
    that may take five or more days to complete. You may begin working
    on your application while completing the registration process, but
    you cannot submit an application until all of the Get Started steps
    are complete. For detailed information on the Get Started Steps,
    please go to: <http://www.grants.gov/GetStarted>.

2)  **SUBMIT EARLY** -- **We strongly recommend that you do not wait
    until the last day to submit your application. Grants.gov will put a
    date/time stamp on your application after it is fully uploaded.**
    The time it takes to upload an application will vary depending on a
    number of factors including the size of the application and the
    speed of your Internet connection. If you start uploading your
    application before 4:30 p.m. Washington, D.C. time on the
    application deadline date, and it does not finish uploading until
    after 4:30 p.m., your application will be marked late. If that
    happens, please see the section below on submission problems.

Note: To submit successfully, you must provide the DUNS number on your
application that was used when your organization registered with the CCR
(Central Contractor Registry).

3)  **VERIFY SUBMISSION IS OK** -- You will want to verify that
    Grants.gov and the Department receive your Grants.gov submission
    timely and that it was validated successfully. To see the date/time
    your application was received, login to Grants.gov and click on the
    Check Application Status link. For a successful submission, the
    date/time received should be earlier than 4:30 p.m. on the deadline
    date, AND the application status should be: Validated, Received by
    Agency, or Agency Tracking Number Assigned.

> If the date/time received is later than 4:30 p.m. Washington, D.C.
> time, on the closing date, your application is late. If your
> application has a status of "Received" it is still awaiting validation
> by Grants.gov. Once validation is complete, the status will either
> change to "Validated" or "Rejected with Errors." If the status is
> "Rejected with Errors," your application has not been received
> successfully. Some of the reasons Grants.gov may reject an application
> can be found on the Grants.gov site:
> <http://www.grants.gov/assets/ApplicationErrorTips.doc>.
>
> If you discover your application is late or has been rejected, please
> see the instructions below. Note: You will receive a series of
> confirmations both online and via e-mail about the status of your
> application. Please do not rely solely on e-mail to confirm whether
> your application has been received timely and validated successfully.

# Submission Problems -- What should you do?

If you have problems submitting to Grants.gov before the closing date,
please contact Grants.gov Customer Support at 1-800-518-4726 or use the
customer support available on the Web site:
<http://www.grants.gov/CustomerSupport>.

Electronic submission is [required]{.underline}. You must submit an
electronic application before 4:30 p.m., unless you follow the
procedures in the [Federal Register]{.underline} notice and qualify for
one of the exceptions to the electronic submission requirement
[and]{.underline} submit, no later than two weeks before the application
deadline date, a written statement to the Department that you qualify
for one of these exceptions. (See the [Federal Register]{.underline}
notice for detailed instructions.)

# Helpful Hints When Working with Grants.gov

Please note, once you download an application from Grants.gov, you will
be working offline and saving data on your computer. Please be sure to
note where you are saving the Grants.gov file on your computer. You will
need to log on to Grants.gov to upload and submit the application. (This
is different from e-Application, where you are working online and saving
data to the Department's database.) You must provide the DUNS number
that was used when your organization registered with the Central

submitting grant applications, please refer to the Grants.gov Submit
Application Tips found on the Grants.gov homepage
[http://www.grants.gov](http://www.grants.gov/).

# 

# Dial-Up Internet Connections

When using a dial-up connection to upload and submit your application,
it can take significantly longer than when you are connected to the
Internet with a high-speed connection, e.g. cable modem/DSL/T1. While
times will vary depending upon the size of your application, it can take
a few minutes to a few hours to complete your grant submission using a
dial up connection.

**If you do not have access to a high-speed connection and electronic
submission is required, you may want to consider following the
instructions in the [Federal Register]{.underline} notice to obtain an
exception to the electronic submission requirement [no later than two
weeks before the application deadline date]{.underline}.** (Refer to the
[Federal Register]{.underline} notice for detailed instructions.)

Windows Emulation program to submit an application using Grants.gov. For
additional information, review the [PureEdge Support for
Macintosh](http://www.grants.gov/GrantsGov_UST_Grantee/!SSL!/WebHelp/MacSupportforPureEdge.pdf)
white paper published by Pure Edge:
<http://www.grants.gov/GrantsGov_UST_Grantee/!SSL!/WebHelp/MacSupportforPureEdge.pdf>,
and/or contact Grants.gov Customer Support
(<http://www.grants.gov/CustomerSupport>) for more information.

**If you do not have a Windows emulation program and electronic
submission is required, please follow instructions in the [Federal
Register]{.underline} notice to obtain an exception to the electronic
submission requirement [no later than two weeks before the application
deadline date.]{.underline}** (Refer to the [Federal
Register]{.underline} notice for detailed instructions.)

application package for this competition by the CFDA number. Do not
include the CFDA number\'s alpha suffix in your search.

Please note the following:

• The amount of time it can take to upload an application will vary
depending on a variety of factors including the size of the application

recommend that you do not wait until the application deadline date to
begin the submission process through Grants.gov.

• You should review and follow the Education Submission Procedures for
submitting an application through Grants.gov that are included in the

You also must provide on your application the same D-U-N-S Number used
with this registration. Please note that the registration process may
take five or more business days to complete, and you must have completed
all registration steps to allow you to successfully submit an

application in electronic format, nor will we penalize you if you
qualify for an exception to the electronic submission requirement, as
described elsewhere in this section, and submit your application in
paper format.

• You must submit all documents electronically, including all
information typically included on the Application for Federal Assistance
(SF 424), Budget Information\--Non-Construction Programs (ED 524), and
all necessary assurances and certifications. You must attach any
narrative sections of your application as files in a .DOC (document),
.RTF (rich text), or .PDF (Portable Document) format. If you upload a
file type other than the three file types specified above or submit a
password protected file, we will not review that material.

#### Intergovernmental Review 

#### State Single Points Of Contact 

It is estimated that in 2004 the federal government will outlay \$400
billion in grants to state and local governments. Executive Order 12372,
\"Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs,\" was issued with the
desire to foster the intergovernmental partnership and strengthen
federalism by relying on state and local processes for the coordination
and review of proposed federal financial assistance and direct federal
development. The Order allows each state to designate an entity to
perform this function. Below is the official list of those entities. For
those states that have a home page for their designated entity, a direct
link has been provided on the official version:
[http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/grants/spoc.html]{.underline}

**States that are not listed on this page have chosen not to participate
in the intergovernmental review process, and therefore do not have a
SPOC. If you are located within one of these states, you may still send
application materials directly to a federal awarding agency.**

Contact information for federal agencies that award grants can be found

#### General Education Provisions Act (GEPA)

#### Section 427

**\*ALL APPLICANTS [MUST]{.underline} INCLUDE INFORMATION IN THEIR
APPLICATIONS TO ADDRESS THIS PROVISION IN ORDER TO RECEIVE FUNDING UNDER
THIS PROGRAM.**

**Section 427 requires each applicant to include in its application a
description of the steps the applicant proposes to take to ensure
equitable access to, and participation in, its federally-assisted
program for students, teachers, and other program beneficiaries with
special needs.**

**This section allows applicants discretion in developing the required
description. The statute highlights six barriers that can impede
equitable access or participation that you may address: *gender, race,
national origin, color disability,* or *age.***

**A general statement of an applicant's nondiscriminatory hiring policy
is not sufficient to meet this requirement. Applicants must identify
potential barriers and explain steps they will take to overcome these
barriers.**

**\*Note: [Applicants are required to address this provision by
attaching a statement to the ED GEPA 427 Form that must be downloaded
from Grants.gov. ]{.underline}**

#### Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)

**What is GPRA?**

The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) is a
straightforward statute that requires all federal agencies to manage
their activities with attention to the consequences of those activities.
Each agency is to clearly state what it intends to accomplish, identify
the resources required, and periodically report their progress to the
Congress. In so doing, it is expected that the GPRA will contribute to
improvements in accountability for the expenditures of public funds,
improve Congressional decision-making through more objective information
on the effectiveness of federal programs, and promote a new government
focus on results, service delivery, and customer satisfaction.

# How has the Department of Education Responded to the GPRA Requirements?

As required by GPRA, the Department of Education has prepared a
strategic plan for 2002-2007. This plan reflects the Department's
priorities and integrates them with its mission and program authorities
and describes how the Department will work to improve education for all
children and adults in the U.S. The Department's goals, as listed in the
plan, are:

*Goal 1: Create a Culture of Achievement*.

*Goal 2: Improve Student Achievement*

*Goal 3: Develop Safe Schools and Strong Character*

*Goal 4: Transform Education into an Evidence-based Field*

> *Goal 5: Enhance the Quality of and Access to Postsecondary and Adult
> Education*

*Goal 6: Establish Management Excellence*

The performance indicators for the International Education Programs are
part of the Department's plan for meeting Goal 5: Enhance the Quality of
and Access to Postsecondary and Adult Education.

**What is the Performance Indicator for the Undergraduate International
Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) Program?**

> The objective of the UISFL program is to meet the nation's security
> and economic needs through the development of a national capacity in
> foreign languages, and area and international studies. Under the
> Government Performance and Results Act, the Department will use the
> following measures to evaluate the success of the program in meeting
> this objective.
>
> UISFL Performance Measures: 1) Percentage of critical languages
> addressed or covered by foreign language major, minor, or certificate
> programs created or enhanced; or by language courses created or
> enhanced; or by faculty or instructor positions created with UISFL or
> matching funds in the reporting period. 2) Percentage of projects
> reported and validated as high quality or successfully completed.

The information provided by grantees in their performance reports
submitted via the electronic Evaluation of Exchange, Language,
International, and Area Studies system will be the source of data for
this measure.

**Definitions:**

**Novice Applicant (See 34 CFR 75.225**). For discretionary grant
programs under which the Secretary gives special consideration to novice
applications, a novice applicant means any applicant for a grant from ED
that---

-   Has never received a grant or subgrant under the program from which
    it seeks funding;

-   Has never been a member of a group application, submitted in
    accordance with 34 CFR 75.127-75.129, that received a grant under
    the program from which it seeks funding; and

-   Has not had an active discretionary grant from the Federal
    government in the five years before the deadline date for
    applications under the program. For the purposes of this
    requirement, a grant is active until the end of the grant's project
    or funding period, including any extensions of those periods that
    extend the grantee's authority to obligate funds.

In the case of a group application submitted in accordance with 34 CFR
75.127-75.129, a group includes only parties that meet the requirements
listed above.

#### PROTECTION OF HUMAN SUBJECTS IN RESEARCH

**I. Definitions and Exemptions**

**A. Definitions.**

A research activity involves human subjects if the activity is research,
as defined in the Department's regulations, and the research activity
will involve use of human subjects, as defined in the regulations.

---**Research**

The ED Regulations for the Protection of Human Subjects, Title 34, Code
of Federal Regulations, Part 97, define research as "a systematic
investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation,
designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge." *If an
activity follows a deliberate plan whose purpose is to develop or
contribute to generalizable knowledge it is research.* Activities which
meet this definition constitute research whether or not they are
conducted or supported under a program that is considered research for
other purposes. For example, some demonstration and service programs may
include research activities.

**---Human Subject**

The regulations define human subject as "a living individual about whom
an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research
obtains (1) data through intervention or interaction with the
individual, or (2) identifiable private information." *(1) If an
activity involves obtaining information about a living person by
manipulating that person or that person's environment, as might occur
when a new instructional technique is tested, or by communicating or
interacting with the individual, as occurs with surveys and interviews,
the definition of human subject is met. (2) If an activity involves
obtaining private information about a living person in such a way that
the information can be linked to that individual (the identity of the
subject is or may be readily determined by the investigator or
associated with the information), the definition of human subject is
met.* \[Private information includes information about behavior that
occurs in a context in which an individual can reasonably expect that no
observation or recording is taking place, and information which has been
provided for specific purposes by an individual and which the individual
can reasonably expect will not be made public (for example, a school
health record).\]

**B. Exemptions.**

Research activities in which the **[only]{.underline}** involvement of
human subjects will be in one or more of the following six categories of
***exemptions*** are not covered by the regulations:

\(1\) Research conducted in established or commonly accepted educational
settings, involving normal educational practices, such as (a) research
on regular and special education instructional strategies, or (b)
research on the effectiveness of or the comparison among instructional
techniques, curricula, or classroom management methods.

\(2\) Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive,
diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures, interview
procedures or observation of public behavior, unless: (a) information
obtained is recorded in such a manner that human subjects can be
identified, directly or through identifiers linked to the subjects; and
(b) any disclosure of the human subjects' responses outside the research
could reasonably place the subjects at risk of criminal or civil
liability or be damaging to the subjects' financial standing,
employability, or reputation. ***If the subjects are children, exemption
2 applies only to research involving educational tests and observations
of public behavior when the investigator(s) do not participate in the
activities being observed. Exemption 2 does not apply if children are
surveyed or interviewed or if the research involves observation of
public behavior and the investigator(s) participate in the activities
being observed.*** \[Children are defined as persons who have not
attained the legal age for consent to treatments or procedures involved
in the research, under the applicable law or jurisdiction in which the
research will be conducted.\]

\(3\) Research involving the use of educational tests (cognitive,
diagnostic, aptitude, achievement), survey procedures, interview
procedures or observation of public behavior that is not exempt under
section (2) above, if the human subjects are elected or appointed public
officials or candidates for public office; or federal statute(s)
require(s) without exception that the confidentiality of the personally
identifiable information will be maintained throughout the research and
thereafter.

\(4\) Research involving the collection or study of existing data,
documents, records, pathological specimens, or diagnostic specimens, if
these sources are publicly available or if the information is recorded
by the investigator in a manner that subjects cannot be identified,

**II. Instructions for Exempt and Nonexempt Human Subjects Research
Narratives**

If the applicant marked "Yes" for Item 3 of Department of Education
Supplemental Information for SF 424, the applicant must provide a human
subjects "exempt research" or "nonexempt research" narrative. Insert the
narrative(s) in the space provided. If you have multiple projects and
need to provide more than one narrative, be sure to label each set of
responses as to the project they address.

**A. Exempt Research Narrative.**

If you marked "Yes" for item 3 a. and designated exemption numbers(s),
provide the "exempt research" narrative. The narrative must contain
sufficient information about the involvement of human subjects in the
proposed research to allow a determination by ED that the designated
exemption(s) are appropriate. The narrative must be succinct.

**B. Nonexempt Research Narrative.**

If you marked "No" for item 3 a. you must provide the "nonexempt
research" narrative. The narrative must address the following seven
points. Although no specific page limitation applies to this section of
the application, be succinct.

\(1\) **Human Subjects Involvement and Characteristics**: Provide a
detailed description of the proposed involvement of human subjects.
Describe the characteristics of the subject population, including their
anticipated number, age range, and health status. Identify the criteria
for inclusion or exclusion of any subpopulation. Explain the rationale
for the involvement of special classes of subjects, such as children,
children with disabilities, adults with disabilities, persons with
mental disabilities, pregnant women, prisoners, institutionalized
individuals, or others who are likely to be vulnerable

\(2\) **Sources of Materials**: Identify the sources of research
material obtained from individually identifiable living human subjects
in the form of specimens, records, or data. Indicate whether the
material or data will be obtained specifically for research purposes or
whether use will be made of existing specimens, records, or data.

\(3\) **Recruitment and Informed Consent**: Describe plans for the
recruitment of subjects and the consent procedures to be followed.
Include the circumstances under which consent will be sought and
obtained, who will seek it, the nature of the information to be provided
to prospective subjects, and the method of documenting consent. State if
the Institutional Review Board (IRB) has authorized a modification or
waiver of the elements of consent or the requirement for documentation
of consent.

\(4\) **Potential Risks**: Describe potential risks (physical,
psychological, social, legal, or other) and assess their likelihood and
seriousness. Where appropriate, describe alternative treatments and
procedures that might be advantageous to the subjects.

\(5\) **Protection Against Risk**: Describe the procedures for
protecting against or minimizing potential risks, including risks to
confidentiality, and assess their likely effectiveness. Where
appropriate, discuss provisions for ensuring necessary medical or
professional intervention in the event of adverse effects to the
subjects. Also, where appropriate, describe the provisions for
monitoring the data collected to ensure the safety of the subjects.

\(6\) **Importance of the Knowledge to be Gained**: Discuss the
importance of the knowledge gained or to be gained as a result of the
proposed research. Discuss why the risks to subjects are reasonable in
relation to the anticipated benefits to subjects and in relation to the
importance of the knowledge that may reasonably be expected to result.

\(7\) **Collaborating Site(s)**: If research involving human subjects
will take place at collaborating site(s) or other performance site(s),
name the sites and briefly describe their involvement or role in the
research.

***Copies of the Department of Education's Regulations for the
Protection of Human Subjects, 34 CFR Part 97 and other pertinent
materials on the protection of human subjects in research are available
from the Grants Policy and Oversight Staff, Office of the Chief
Financial Officer, U.S. Department of Education, Washington, D.C.

    applied and the total indirect expense. Depending on the grant
    program to which you are applying and/or your approved Indirect Cost
    Rate Agreement, some direct cost budget categories in your grant
    application budget may not be included in the base and multiplied by
    your indirect cost rate. For example, you must multiply the indirect
    cost rates of "Training grants\" (34 CFR 75.562) and grants under
    programs with "Supplement not Supplant" requirements (\"Restricted
    Rate\" programs) by a "modified total direct cost" (MTDC) base (34
    CFR 75.563 or 76.563). Please indicate which costs are included and
    which costs are excluded from the base to which the indirect cost
    rate is applied.

> When calculating indirect costs (line 10) for \"Training grants\" or
> grants under \"Restricted Rate\" programs, you must refer to the
> information and examples on ED's website at:
> [http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html]{.underline}.
>
> You may also contact (202) 377-3838 for additional information
> regarding calculating indirect cost rates or general indirect cost
> rate information.

4.  Provide other explanations or comments you deem necessary.
