Full Text of Announcement

I. Funding Opportunity Description

    Purpose of Program: The SIP provides grants to eligible 
institutions of higher education (IHEs) to help them become self 
sufficient and expand their capacity to serve low-income students, by 
providing funds to improve and strengthen the institution's academic 
quality, institutional management and fiscal stability.
    Priorities: Under this competition we are particularly interested 
in applications that address the following priorities.
    Invitational Priorities: For FY 2010, there are four invitational 
priorities for this program. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(1) we do not give 
an application that meets these invitational priorities a competitive 
or absolute preference over other applications.
    These priorities are:
    Invitational Priority 1.
    Support activities that will improve the institution's persistence 
and graduation rates.
    Invitational Priority 2.
    Work with the appropriate State agencies to develop strategies for 
using State longitudinal data systems to track outcomes for students 
attending the grantee institution, including the extent to which the 
students complete certificates, two-year degrees, and four-year degrees 
at other institutions.
    Invitational Priority 3.
    Develop academic programs to improve course completion rates or 
develop innovative support programs that are designed to increase 
completion rates.
    Invitational Priority 4.
    Develop dual enrollment programs that facilitate the transition 
between high school and college or career pathway programs that 
integrate basic academic instruction with technical or professional 
occupational training to advance individuals, particularly adult 
learners, on a career path toward high-wage occupations in high-demand 
industries.

    Program Authority:  20 U.S.C. 1057--1059d (Title III, Part A of 
the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA).

III. Eligibility Information

    1. Eligible Applicants: This program is authorized by Title III, 
Part A, of the HEA. To qualify as an eligible institution under any 
Title III, Part A program, an institution must, among other 
requirements--
    (1) Be accredited or preaccredited by a nationally recognized 
accrediting agency or association that the Secretary has determined to 
be a reliable authority as to the quality of education or training 
offered;
    (2) Be legally authorized by the State in which it is located to be 
a junior college or to provide an educational program for which it 
awards a bachelor's degree;
    (3) Be designated as an ``eligible institution'' by demonstrating 
that it: (A) Has an enrollment of needy students as described in 34 CFR 
607.3; and B) has low average educational and general expenditures per 
full-time equivalent (FTE) undergraduate student as described in 34 CFR 
607.4.
    Relationship between the Title III, Part A programs and the 
Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) program.

    Note 1:  A grantee under the Developing Hispanic-Serving 
Institutions (HSI) program, which is authorized under Title V of the 
HEA, may not receive a grant under any HEA, Title III, Part A 
program. The Title III, Part A programs include SIP, Tribally 
Controlled Colleges and Universities, Alaska Native and Native 
Hawaiian-serving Institutions, Asian American and Native American 
Pacific Islander-serving Institutions, and Native American-serving 
Nontribal Institutions. Further, a current HSI program grantee may 
not give up its HSI grant to receive a grant under any Title III, 
Part A program.


    Note 2: An eligible HSI that does not fall within the limitation 
described in Note 1 (i.e., is not a current grantee under the HSI 
program) may apply for a FY 2010 grant under all Title III, Part A 
programs for which it is eligible, as well as receive consideration 
for a grant under the HSI program. However, a successful applicant 
may receive only one grant.


    Note 3: An eligible IHE that submits more than one application 
may only be awarded one individual development grant or one 
cooperative arrangement development grant in a fiscal year. We will 
not award a second cooperative arrangement development grant to an 
otherwise eligible IHE for the same award year as the IHE's existing 
cooperative arrangement development grant award.


    Note 4: The Department will make five-year awards for individual 
development grants and five-year awards for cooperative arrangement 
development grants in rank order from the funding slate according to 
the average score received from a panel of three readers.

    2. a. Cost Sharing or Matching: This program does not require cost 
sharing or matching unless the grantee uses a portion of its grant for 
establishing or improving an endowment fund. If a grantee uses a 
portion of its grant for endowment fund purposes, it must match those 
grant funds with non-Federal funds (20 U.S.C. 1059c(c)(3)(B)).
    b. Supplement-Not-Supplant: This program involves supplement-not-
supplant funding requirements. Grant funds shall be used so that they 
supplement and, to the extent practical, increase the funds that would 
otherwise be available for the activities to be carried out under the 
grant and in no case supplant those funds (34 CFR 607.30(b)).

organizations, on the same or other construction project(s)'' or 
``otherwise discriminate against bidders, offerors, contractors, or 
subcontractors for becoming or refusing to become or remain signatories 
or otherwise adhere to agreements with one or more labor organizations, 
on the same or other construction project(s).'' However, the Executive

Order and will be asked to certify that they will adhere to it.
    6. Data Universal Numbering System Number, Taxpayer Identification

If you are prevented from electronically submitting your application on 
the application deadline date because e-Application is unavailable, we 
will grant you an extension of one business day to enable you to 
transmit your application electronically, by mail, or by hand delivery.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT (see VII. Agency Contact) or (2) the e-

deadline is extended, an e-mail will be sent to all registered users 
who have initiated an e-Application. Extensions referred to in this 
section apply only to the unavailability of e-Application.
    Exception to Electronic Submission Requirement: You qualify for an

the following selection criteria (separately for each proposed 
activity). The total weight of the selection criteria is 100 points; 
the maximum score for each criterion is noted in parentheses. The

    Tie-breaker for Development Grants. In tie-breaking situations for 
development grants, 34 CFR 607.23(b) of the regulations requires that 
we award one additional point to an application from an IHE that has an 
endowment fund of which the current market value, per full time 
equivalent (FTE) enrolled student, is less than the average current 
market value of the endowment funds, per FTE enrolled student at 
similar type

[[Page 38797]]

institutions. We award one additional point to an application from an 
IHE that had expenditures for library materials per FTE enrolled 
student that are less than the average expenditure for library 
materials per FTE enrolled student at similar type institutions. We 
also add one additional point to an application from an IHE that 
proposes to carry out one or more of the following activities--
    (1) Faculty development;
    (2) Funds and administrative management;
    (3) Development and improvement of academic programs;
    (4) Acquisition of equipment for use in strengthening management 
and academic programs;
    (5) Joint use of facilities; and
    (6) Student services.
    For the purpose of these funding considerations, we use 2007-2008 
data.
    If a tie remains after applying the tie-breaker mechanism above, 
priority will be given in the case of applicants for: (a) Individual 
development grants to applicants that have the lowest endowment values 
per FTE enrolled student; and (b) cooperative arrangement development 
grants to applicants in accordance with section 394(b) of the HEA, if 
the Secretary determines that the cooperative arrangement is 
geographically and economically sound or will benefit the applicant 
institution.

VI. Award Administration Information

    1. Award Notices: If your application is successful, we notify your 
U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators and send you a Grant Award 
Notification (GAN). We may notify you informally, also.
    If your application is not evaluated or not selected for funding, 
we notify you.

administrative and national policy requirements in the application 
package and reference these and other requirements in the Applicable 
Regulations section in this notice.
    We reference the regulations outlining the terms and conditions of 
an award in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice and 
include these and other specific conditions in the GAN. The GAN also 
incorporates your approved application as part of your binding 
commitments under the grant.
    3. Reporting: At the end of your project period, you must submit a 
final performance report, including financial information, as directed 
by the Secretary. If you receive a multi-year award, you must submit an

frequent performance reports under 34 CFR 75.720(c). For specific 
requirements on reporting, please go to http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/appforms/appforms.html.
    4. Performance Measures: The Secretary has established the 
following key performance measures for assessing the effectiveness of 
the Title III, Part A SIP:
    a. The percentage change, over the 5-year period, of the number of 
full-time degree-seeking undergraduates enrolled at SIP institutions. 
Note that this is a long-term measure, which will be used to 
periodically gauge performance, beginning in FY 2009;
    b. The percentage of first-time, full-time degree-seeking 
undergraduate students at 4-year SIP institutions who were in their 
first year of postsecondary enrollment in the previous year and are 
enrolled in the current year at the same SIP institution;
    c. The percentage of first-time, full-time degree-seeking 
undergraduate students at 2-year SIP institutions who were in their 
first year of postsecondary enrollment in the previous year and are 
enrolled in the current year at the same SIP institution;
    d. The percentage of first-time, full-time degree-seeking 
undergraduate students enrolled at 4-year SIP institutions graduating 
within 6 years of enrollment; and
    e. The percentage of first-time, full-time degree-seeking
