Mandate

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.

Funding

The Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) are authorized under Title VI, Part B of the Higher Education Act of 1965. They are funded through an appropriation in the annual U.S. federal budget, and funding is administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Each CIBER school matches federal funding annually and in most cases support is provided by the school in an amount that far exceeds the federal award. Funds received, both federal and matching, are applied in a variety of ways, including staffing of functions within the Center, awarding of grants to faculty and students to promote internationalization of students' programs and research, presenting workshops and seminars, and providing direct outreach support to schools and multiplier organizations in the region.

Title VI Centers

The CIBER grant specifies that CIBERs must collaborate with the Title VI area studies centers located in their home universities. The UT CIBER collaborates with our four Title VI Centers in K-12 outreach, in the form of the annual Hemispheres Conference.
