GRANTS
Currently there are no plans to award grant funding for the 2007-2008 academic year. The Centers of Academic Excellence expects to be awarding grants, based on the availability of funding, for the 2008-2009 academic year to establish IC Centers of Academic Excellence. When the ODNI is ready to announce a grant competition, a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) will be announced with the criteria and requirements through Grants.gov and the National Geospatial Agency's websites. Please revisit this website at a later date for 2008-2009 grant information.
The Centers of Academic Excellence grant program provides partnership opportunities for the IC and colleges and universities. Grant funding is awarded based upon merit competition and the CAE Program reserves the right to not make any grant awards.
