The U.S. Department of Education (ED) announced that it will be holding a competition for its Title VI International Research and Studies (IRS) program this year – its first since 2010 (continuation awards were offered in 2011 and 2012). IRS supports surveys and studies to improve and strengthen instruction in modern foreign languages, area studies, and other international fields.  A call for proposals is expected in late spring or early summer at the Federal Register. Visit the IRS program page for more information, including abstracts of previously awarded projects.
