Furthermore, a current title III, Part A or title V program grantee may not give up its grant to receive a grant under SIP, as described in 34 CFR 607.2(g)(1).An eligible IHE that is not a current grantee under the above-cited programs may apply for a FY 2023 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.

Individual Development and Cooperative Arrangement Grants: An eligible IHE that submits applications for an Individual Development Grant and a Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant in this competition may be awarded both in the same fiscal year. However, we will not award a second Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant as the lead institution to an otherwise eligible IHE for an award year for which the IHE already has a Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant as the lead institution under the ANNH Program. A grantee with an Individual Development Grant or a Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant may be a partner in one or more Cooperative Arrangement Development Grants. The lead institution in a Cooperative Arrangement Development Grant must be an eligible institution. Partners are not required to be eligible institutions.
