Office of Postsecondary Education, Title VI, Higher Education Act 
of 1965, as Amended, Part A, National Resource Centers Program and 
Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships Program; Notice 
Announcing Technical Assistance Workshop for Preparing Applications for 
New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2003

    Purpose of Workshop: To assist institutions of higher education in 
preparing their applications for the competition for new awards for FY 
2003 under the National Resource Centers Program and the Foreign 
Language and Area Studies Fellowships Program authorized by section 602 
of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, 20 U.S.C. 1122. The 
workshop will include sessions on how to develop application narratives 
and budgets that effectively address the programs' selection criteria, 
as well as sessions on program evaluation and grant administration. 
This notice announces the technical assistance workshop only.
    Prospective applicants are advised that in August 2002 the 
Secretary plans to publish a notice inviting applications for FY 2003 
new awards, contingent upon Congress appropriating funds for these 
programs.

DATES: February 3-5, 2002. Workshop sessions will begin at 8 a.m. and 
end at 5 p.m. Conducting the workshop in February allows prospective 
applicants sufficient time to develop their applications for submission 
in fall 2002.

Virginia. To make a reservation call the Doubletree Hotel, toll free,
