Slide 11

Focus Questions:

1. How can we effectively address the issues of “Diversity & Access” through our grant programs in order to increase global competency for all U.S. students?

• Proposing Invitational/Competitive Priorities• Targeting population or applicant pool• Identifying expected activities & outcomes• Exploring grant application/proposal requirements

2. In which ways can the field leverage its existing expertise and experience to support IFLE in meeting our program goals and addressing national priorities? • Infrastructure, form, format for collaboration• Data collection and reporting – IRIS Re-clearance• Existing best practices – How do we capture info on NRCs who currently

respond effectively to national and ED priorities?
