Abstract: The IRS Program provides grants to conduct research and studies to improve and strengthen instruction in modern foreign languages, area studies, and other international fields. Applications are divided into two groups, research, surveys, and studies (CFDA 84.017A-1) and instructional materials (CFDA 84.017A-3). Minor revisions have been made to both applications to clarify the directions for submitting the budget and other attachments. In addition, versions of the latest laws and regulations for the program have been updated.
