Request for Proposals: LTC FAO Regional Skills Sustainment Initiative
Event Details
The Institute of International Education (IIE) is pleased to share with you application guidelines for the Language Training Center (LTC) Program Foreign Area Officer (FAO) Regional Skills Sustainment Initiative. Through this solicitation, the LTC Program is seeking proposals from U.S. Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) to provide experienced Foreign Area Officers (FAOs) with opportunities to interact with and learn from regional experts to enhance their knowledge of regional and area studies. Additionally, this request for proposal seeks support for the recently launched Iris Burton Bulls Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) Fellowship Program – a DLNSEO initiative within the National Security Education Program.
The LTC Program is an initiative of the Defense Language and National Security Education Office (DLNSEO). Through a partnership between DoD and IHEs, the LTC Program has supported the language and cultural training needs of a wide range of DoD personnel, including military linguists, intelligence analysts, special operations forces, foreign area officers, and the general-purpose forces. Please visit the LTC website for additional information about the program.
