Tips and Assistance
Developing a successful proposal for the Program for North American Mobility in Higher Education starts first by seeing whether or not your idea fits the parameters of the guidelines listed on this Web site. We also recommend that you make sure that the Program for North American Mobility in Higher Education is the right kind of program for you. You can do this by first checking out the FIPSE Web site at www.ed.gov/FIPSE. This Web site has lots of information about the kinds of projects that FIPSE has funded in its international programs--the North American Mobility Program, the EU-U.S. Atlantis Program, and the U.S.-Brazil Higher Education Consortia Program. Each of these programs has a separate section on the FIPSE Web site. See what FIPSE has funded in your disciplinary area or in the part of the world that you are interested in. Second, read carefully the latest version of the North American guidelines and application materials on the FIPSE Web site. Third, call one of the program officers on FIPSE's international team. Names, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses can be found on this Web page under Contacts at www.ed.gov/programs/fipsenortham/contacts.html. You can discuss your idea with a program officer in the international programs at any stage of proposal development.
We suggest that you have all partners read the guidelines as they are published in their respective countries carefully as they do differ slightly. Partners should make sure that everyone agrees on the basic goals of the project and that everyone is agreed to commit themselves to making this idea work.
