Are foreign institutions eligible to apply for ARRA Grants?
No, applications from foreign institutions are not permitted. In keeping with the purposes of the Recovery Act (in particular, to preserve and create jobs and to promote economic recovery in the United States, as well as provide investments needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and health), applicants must be domestic institutions or organizations in that they must be located in the 50 states, territories, and possessions of the United States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, or the District of Columbia. Domestic applicants may include a foreign component if the funding for its foreign component does not exceed 10% of the total requested direct costs, or $25,000/year aggregate total for all foreign subcontracts and subawards, whichever is less.
