University Center Economic Development Program: EDAs mission is to lead the federal economic development agenda by promoting innovation and competitiveness, preparing American regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy. Institutions of higher education have many assets and in partnership with EDA establish and operate University Centers. These EDA-sponsored University Centers provide technical assistance to public and private sector organizations with the goal of enhancing regional economic development by promoting a favorable business environment to attract private capital investment and higher-skill, higher-wage jobs. EDA is soliciting competitive applications from accredited institutions of higher education and from consortia of institutions of higher education (see section III. of the FFO (under "Full Announcement Link" below) for eligibility information) to operate University Centers from applicants in (and programs targeting) only the following geographic areas served by EDAs Austin and Denver regional offices. The Austin regional office serves Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
