CIBER 2006-2010 Grant Proposal Abstracts

The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) were created under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 to increase and promote the nation's capacity for international understanding and economic enterprise. Administered by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965, the CIBER program links the manpower and information needs of U.S. business with the international education, language training, and research capacities of universities across the U.S. Thirty-one universities were designated as centers that serve as regional and national resources to business, students, and academics. Together, the CIBERs form a powerful network focused on improving American competitiveness and providing comprehensive service and programs that help U.S. business succeed in global markets.

CIBERweb provides information about the legislation that formed this network, an outline of the goals of this initiative, the directory of the thirty-one CIBERs and the U.S. Department of Education administrator for this program, and all CIBER products. The products delivered by CIBERs vary in format from workshops to conferences to publications to online resources. Therefore, CIBERweb is designed with multiple points of entry addressing user's interest as main categories. A particular activity may be listed under two different categories depending on the interest area. Visitors may also link to the web sites of the individual Centers through the directory to find more detailed listings of the lectures, workshops, events, publications, and funding opportunities that are offered.
