Purpose of Program: The purpose of this program is to provide
grants or enter into cooperative agreements to improve
postsecondary education opportunities by focusing on problem areas
in postsecondary education or approaches to improve postsecondary
education.
Invitational Priority One:
Proposals designed to support the formation of educational
consortia of United States (U.S.) and Brazilian institutions to support
cooperation in the coordination of curricula, the exchange of students,
and the opening of educational opportunities between the U.S. and
Brazil. The invitational priority is issued in cooperation with Brazil.
These awards support only the participation of U.S. institutions and
students in these consortia. Brazilian institutions participating in
any consortium proposal responding to the invitational priority may
apply to the Coordination of Improvement of Personnel of Superior Level
(CAPES), Brazilian Ministry of Education, for additional funding under
a separate but parallel Brazilian competition.
Invitational Priority Two:
Projects that support exchanges between Brazilian universities and
U.S. minority-serving institutions in order to increase the
participation of underrepresented minorities in the program.
