Discretionary awards are budgeted over five-year increments of the entire amount awarded to an Institution of Higher Education [IHE]. 

An **Individual Development** grant is made to support an IHE that is eligible  to receive a grant under this program. 

A **Cooperative Arrangement Development** grant is made to an eligible  institution which has a formal agreement to carry out allowable activities with  other institution(s) of higher education. 

The *lead institution* of a **Cooperative Arrangement Development** grant *must meet all eligibility* requirements of the HSI program. The *Partnering  IHEs***do not** have to meet the eligibility requirements.
