GROUP PROJECTS ABROAD

The Group Projects Abroad program is designed to help U.S.
educational institutions improve their programs in foreign
languages, area studies, world affairs, and/or intercultural
education. Universities, 4-year colleges, community and
junior colleges, developing institutions, State departments
of education, nonprofit educational organizations, and various
combinations of such institutions are eligible to apply for
grants.

An interested institution should take the initiative in planning and proposing a project that would significantly improve its programs in foreign languages, area studies, world affairs, and/or intercultural education. The institution or organization is responsible for selecting appropriately qualified participants.

Group Projects Abroad is a cost-sharing program. The general objectives of the financial provisions are to (1) provide suitable research, training, and curriculum development opportunities abroad for as many educators in international/intercultural studies as is feasible within the funds available, and (2) cover the special expenses involved because the activity is carried out abroad. The Federal maintenance allowance is a substantial supplement that will clearly cover most costs, but it is not intended to provide each participant with an all-expenses-paid experience. Even within the allowable categories, Office of Education funds must usually be supplemented to cover the full costs of a program.

DOCTORAL DISSERTATION RESEARCH ABROAD

The Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad program provides
opportunities for advanced graduate students to engage in
full-time dissertation research abroad in modern foreign
languages, area studies, and world affairs.
The program

is designed to develop research knowledge and capability
in world areas not widely included in American curriculums
by helping prospective teachers and scholars conduct original
research in their area of specialization and enhance their
knowledge of the region, its people, and its language.

During the award period (6 to 12 months), a fellow is expected to conduct research within the geographic area of his or her academic interest. Approval to conduct research in more than one country may be granted if it is determined that such research is essential to the satisfactory completion of the research project--or if the proposal presents suitable evidence that superior research facilities for the topic exist outside the principal geographic area of specialization.
