Withdrawal of Notices inviting applications for new awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2011; Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) Program; International Research and Studies (IRS) Program; Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA) Fellowship Program; Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program; Business and International Education (BIE)Program; American Overseas Research Centers (AORC) Program; and The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE)—Comprehensive Program.

SUMMARY:

On September 17, 2010 (75 FR 57000) (DDRA); October 1, 2010 (75 FR 60740) (FRA); January 13, 2011 (76 FR 2349) (BIE) and (76 FR 2353) (IRS); January 25, 2011 (76 FR 4330) (AORC); February 8, 2011 (76 FR 6769) (UISFL); and March 22, 2011 (76 FR 15956) (Comprehensive Program), the Department published in the Federal Register notices inviting applications for new awards for each of the programs identified. Since that time, the Department has determined that, as a result of final Congressional action on FY 2011 appropriations, there are not sufficient funds available in 2011 to support new awards under these programs. As such, the Department withdraws these notices inviting applications for new awards for FY 2011.

Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1124, 20 U.S.C 1125, 22 U.S.C 2452(b)(6), 20 U.S.C. 1130-1130b, 20 U.S.C 1128a, and 20 U.S.C. 1138-1138d.
