Other change** This collection is currently active through 08/31/201011/30/09.       Based on the change in the Higher Education Extension Act of 2006Opportunity Act of 2008 (Pub.L.109-292110-315), we are required to include program assurance under Section 613(c) (20 U.S.C. 1130a(c)) three additional activities to the currently active International Research and Studies application. These activities are: Section 605(a)(20 U.S.C. 1125(a)) (10) Evaluation of the extent to which programs assisted under this title reflect diverse perspectives and a wide range of views and generate debate on world regions and international affairs, as described in the grantee’s application; (11) The systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of data that contribute to achieving the purpose of this part; and (12) Support for programs or activities to make data collected, analyzed, or disseminated under this section publicly available and easy to understand. These activities are optional for applicants and therefore the burden is not increased“Each such application shall include an assurance that, where applicable, the activities funded by the grant will reflect diverse perspectives and a wide range of views on world regions and international affairs.”. effective September 30, 2006, the low-income requirement for Hispanic Students (Section 502(a)), in determining program eligibility has been eliminated. The HEA change also requires that institutions report their undergraduate Hispanic FTE percent at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application. As a result, the Program Profile form in the HSI application package needs to be modified accordingly, .so that staff can use this approved collection for the upcoming 2007 competition.
