Heidi - 
What is the status of this kind of thing at the University?  Are there any initiatives like this in the works at U of O?

Hope you are well -

> Here's your chance!
> U.S. Department of State’s U.S. Study Abroad Branch and Partners of the Americas announced the opening of Capacity Building Grants for U.S. Undergraduate Study Abroad. These are 11 Capacity-Building Grants up to $42,000 to expand your institution's capacity for diversity in study abroad.
> Why students with disabilities?
> We know that disability is part of diversity, but too often it gets left out of diversity-related initiatives and budgets for sending underrepresented students abroad. Although this grant does not require a disability focus, we know that it could be a fantastic opportunity for professionals at U.S. institutions – from Disability Studies faculty to those working in education abroad or disability services/accessible education support - to achieve their goals of equitable overseas experiences for students with disabilities.
> Not sure where to start?
> Reach across silos to your education abroad or disability colleagues on your campus to collaborate on a proposal now! Visit the Partners website<http://www.partners.net/capacity-building-grants> for details. You can even register for a proposal tips webinar<https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1341847667447261698> to take place tomorrow, November 9.

> If you need ideas, the National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE), administered by MIUSA and sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, can also offer you technical assistance, tip sheets, good practices, and more.
