A FIPSE grant competition that was just announced (higher education):

The Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) announces
the FY 2010 European Union-United States Atlantis Program

FIPSE is pleased to announce the Atlantis Program competition for fiscal year 2010. The competition opened January 8, 2010 and closes April 8, 2010. The main focus of Atlantis is on supporting innovative institutional projects for cooperation in the higher education field, including vocational training, which are designed to develop and implement double or joint “transatlantic degrees” for students in the EU and U.S. The program may also support projects to promote other forms of EU-U.S. cooperation in higher education and vocational training, including academic term mobility projects and policy studies.

Atlantis is funded jointly by the European Commission’s Directorate for Education and Culture 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 EU applicant institution to the European Commission by April 8, 2010. 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 and a database of funded projects. You may also check the EU-U.S. Atlantis Program Google Map for links to grants made between 2006 and 2009.

U.S. applicants may apply as a single institution or as a consortium of institutions for projects in all disciplines. Since 1995 a total of 162 transatlantic consortia have been funded involving more than 850 European and United States institutions of higher education and vocational education and training. More than 5000 U.S. and EU students have completed programs of study abroad with these consortia projects. Total awards range from two to five years for up to $456,000 and €428.000.
