About this program
The Department of Defense administers the Language Flagship Fellowships (CFDA 12.553), a program designed to develop American personnel with professional-level competency in languages critical to national security, including African languages, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, Korean, Persian, and Russian. The program targets training to Interagency Language Roundtable level 3 and American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages superior level.
This program is not actively pursuing new awards. The portfolio reflects only two Project Grant awards, both obligated on August 16, 2016—ten years ago. No grant opportunities have been posted recently, and no award activity has been recorded since 2016. The two historical awards—a Center for Military History Fellowship Grant and a Dissertation Fellowship Grant, each valued at $10 thousand—represent the full recent portfolio. The combined federal obligation across the program stands at $20 thousand, distributed entirely through the Department of Defense with no participation from other funding agencies.
Given the decade-long absence of grant awards, this program does not represent an active pursuit opportunity for business development professionals at this time.
