Body
From http://exchanges.state.gov/education/rfgps/jan5rfgp.htm

Application Deadline: January 5, 2007

The Office of Academic Exchange Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announces an open competition for projects to provide foreign language instruction overseas for American undergraduate and graduate students in the summer of 2007 in support of the National Security Language Initiative (NSLI). Public and private nonprofit organizations, or consortia of such organizations meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3), may submit proposals to implement six- to ten-week summer institutes overseas for a minimum total of 365 participants in countries where Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian and the Indic, Persian, and Turkic language families are widely spoken. These summer institutes should offer U.S. undergraduate and graduate students structured classroom instruction and less formal interactive learning opportunities through a comprehensive exchange experience that primarily emphasizes language learning. Proposals from applicant organizations should clearly indicate the building of new, additional institutional language-teaching capacity overseas for these summer institutes-this program is designed to develop additional language study opportunities for U.S. students.
