> CANCELLATION NOTICE: On September 17, 2010 a notice was published in the
> Federal Register inviting applications for new awards under the
> Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Program for FY
> 2011. The notice announced "an estimated $5,800,000 for awards under this
> competition. The actual level of funding, if any, depends on final
> Congressional action. However, we are inviting applications to allow
> enough time to complete the grant process if Congress appropriates funds
> for this program."
>
> Congressional action on the FY 2011 budget substantially reduced funds
> available for grants from the Title VI Programs, including new grants
> under the DDRA Program. Therefore, no new awards will be made under the
> DDRA Program in FY 2011.

> Federal Register Notice
> NOTE: The notice below is being withdrawn by the Department of Education.
> A notice of withdrawal will be published soon in the Federal Register.
