The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) announces the FY 2010 U.S. – Brazil Program Competition
FIPSE is pleased to announce the U.S.-Brazil Program competition for fiscal year 2010. The competition opened January 22, 2010 and closes March 25, 2010. The U.S.–Brazil Program is designed to assist colleges and universities in the United States and Brazil by giving students a U.S.-Brazil perspective to education and training in a wide range of subject areas.
The U.S.-Brazil program is funded jointly by the Ministry of Education in Brazil (CAPES) and by the U.S. Department of Education’s Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). Joint applications must be submitted by the U.S applicant to FIPSE and by the Brazilian applicant to CAPES. Program information and application instructions for U.S applicants may be found at http://e-grants.ed.gov. Applicants are also encouraged to check the FIPSE website at www.ed.gov/fipse for more information.

Eligibility and value of this award
U.S. applicants must apply as a consortium of institutions for projects in all disciplines. Since 2001 over 100 consortia have been funded involving more than 250 Brazilian and United States institutions of higher education. More than 2000 U.S. and Brazilian students have completed programs of study abroad with these consortia projects. Awards are made for four years in the amount of approximately $250,000 for the four-year period. CAPES awards grants in approximately the same amount, however the funding process is different in Brazil.
The program is based on objectives outlined in a 1997 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Education between the United States and Brazil. The MOU laid out a plan to “enhance and expand cooperative efforts in education” by attempting to “identify new areas for joint activities in the field of education” by attempting to “identify new areas for joint activities in the field of education wherever they deem appropriate and to strengthen or expand existing programs."
