Abstract: The National Resource Centers (NRC) program is authorized under Title VI, part A, section 602 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The program provides grants to institutions of higher education (IHEs) or consortia of IHEs to establish, strengthen, and operate comprehensive and undergraduate centers that will be national resources for the teaching of modern foreign languages; instruction in fields needed to provide full understanding of world regions where modern foreign languages are used; research and training in international studies and international and foreign language aspects of professional and other fields of study; and instruction and research on issues in world affairs. NRC grants also support outreach activities to the K-16 education sectors and the business, media, and general public.
