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.
