| Title | Funding: Promoting Diffusion of Innovation (FLAGSHIP) |
| Body | The Language Flagship, an initiative of the National Security Education Program, provides funding for U.S. institutions of higher education and organizational partners to develop advanced critical language programs to meet the future needs of the United States. The Language Flagship has created thirteen innovative programs at leading U.S. universities to teach critical less commonly taught languages to the professional level of proficiency. The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to announce the competition for new award under the Flagship institutional grants program, "Promoting Diffusion of Innovation." The purpose of this program is to expand the effectiveness, scope, and scale of The Language Flagship funding efforts to establish partnerships between the existing Flagship Centers and new institutions and organizations interested in Flagship focused instruction. Proposals are sought for projects that replicate the effective and innovative Flagship practices and diffuse those practices through instruction at their institutions and/or organizations. The deadline for submission of proposals to IIE is Thursday, December 19, 2008. Proposals must be submitted with the signature of a Flagship Center Director currently receiving funding from The Language Flagship. Partners may include academic institutions, public sector and non-profit sector agencies, school districts, businesses, or private sector organizations. The application should identify the role of each of the partners, which may consist of a group of Flagship Centers, institutions and/or organizations.
