    The document outlines two significant government actions: a committee meeting of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the inland waterways system and an announcement for applications for the Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA) Fellowship Program from the Department of Education. The Army Corps meeting will discuss investment projects for inland waterways, fiscal updates, and modernization efforts. Public participation is encouraged through comments, with specific procedures for submitting feedback. In contrast, the Fulbright-Hays FRA Fellowship Program invites applications for grants to support faculty research abroad to enhance language and area studies proficiency. For FY 2024, approximately $750,000 is allocated for 25 fellowships, averaging $30,000. The program emphasizes research in specific geographic regions and languages, with competitive preference given to projects that promote equity in education. Applications are due by April 23, 2024, with detailed submission guidelines provided. Both initiatives reflect ongoing governmental efforts to enhance infrastructure and educational opportunities.
