The Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) program provides grants to strengthen and improve undergraduate instruction in international studies and foreign languages. An invitational priority is for collaborative efforts between colleges of liberal arts and sciences and colleges of education within the same institution to propose projects that will strengthen instruction in foreign languages and international studies in teacher education programs that provide pre-service training for K-12 teachers in foreign languages and international studies. Another invitational priority is for programs and activities that focus on one (or more) of the 78 languages on the U.S.Department of Education's list of Less Commonly Taught Languages.
