Subject: Grant Opportunity

The National Foreign Language Center at the University of Maryland
(NFLC), acting as the administrative agent of the National Security
Education Program (NSEP) for the National Flagship Language Initiative
(NFLI), seeks proposals from U.S. institutions of higher education to
develop and implement innovative on-campus programs of advanced
instruction in Arabic (including dialects) to increase dramatically the
number of U.S. students advancing to professional levels of language
competency.  These on-campus programs will prepare students for entry
into already established and more advanced NFLI overseas Arabic
instructional programs.

The National Flagship Language Initiative (NFLI), under the auspices of
the National Security Education Program (NSEP), is establishing
national flagship language programs across the U.S.  These programs,
coupled with NSEP-funded scholarships and fellowships carrying a
national service obligation, are designed to produce significant
numbers of graduates, across disciplines, with advanced levels of
proficiency in languages critical to national security, many of whom
will be candidates for employment with agencies and offices of the
federal government.  The NFLI represents a major and vital strategic
partnership between the federal government and higher education to
implement innovative and well-articulated programs designed to embrace
language competency as its central mission.

Copies of the solicitation are available only from the website of the
National Foreign Language Center, University of Maryland beginning
Monday, August 16: www.nflc.org.

Please contact the NFLC at jedwards at nflc.org with any questions or
problems concerning the solicitation.
