Abstract: Under the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad (GPA) program, the Secretary awards grants to eligible institutions, departments, and organizations to conduct overseas group projects in research, training, and curriculum development. These institutions administer the program in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education (US/ED) as provided under the authority of sections 102(b)(6) and 104(e)(1) of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, 34 CFR part 662, the Policy Statements of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB), and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR).
This is a revision to an existing collection. ED/IFLE is removing Competitive Preference Priority 6: Thematic Focus on Ukraine or Afghanistan because only 1 applicant out of 43 applications for FY 2023 applied for the priority. This applicant was not eligible for the points. No applications received points for this priority. This revision will have no effect on hour or cost burden.
This collection is being submitted under the Streamlined Clearance Process for Discretionary Grant Information Collections (1894-0001). Therefore, the 30-day public comment period notice will be the only public comment notice published for this information collection.
