DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
[CFDA No.: 84.017A]
Office of Postsecondary Education; International Research and
Studies Program
ACTION: Notice of reopening and correction of the International
Research and Studies Program fiscal year (FY) 2003 competition.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice to Applicants: On September 26, 2002 the Secretary published
in the Federal Register (67 FR 60645 through 60646) a notice inviting
applications for new awards for FY 2003 for the International Research
and Studies Program. This notice corrects the notice published on
September 26, 2002 by replacing the absolute priority and the two
invitational priorities with a single invitational priority, and
reopening this competition.
In order to broaden the programmatic impact on the field of
language, area and international studies, the Secretary replaces the
entire section on priorities in the notice of September 26, 2002 with
the following:
Invitational Priority
This competition focuses on projects designed to meet the priority
in the regulations for this program (34 CFR 660.34(a)(2)).
Specific languages or regions for study or materials development:
We are particularly interested in projects that include studies and the
development of instructional materials on the Middle East, Central
Asia, and South Asia and the languages spoken in these regions.
Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) we do not give an application that meets
the invitational priority a competitive or absolute preference over
other applications. The competition is reopened to provide applicants
time to prepare applications in accordance with this notice of
correction.
New Deadline for Transmittal of Applications: January 17, 2003.
For Applications and Further Information Contact: The application
for this program is available at: http://www.ed.gov/offices/OPE/HEP/
