At INR, we are on a mission to deliver and coordinate timely, objective intelligence that advances U.S. diplomacy.
The 2024 Title VIII Program seeks to fund U.S. organizations with the interest and capability to conduct research and foreign language training related to Eastern Europe and the independent states of the former Soviet Union. This grant program underscores the vital need for factual knowledge about these regions in the interests of U.S. national security and foreign policy. It aims to develop and preserve U.S. expertise through advanced research by specialists, recognizing them as a significant resource potentially available for governmental and non-governmental engagement. The program also highlights the necessity of stable and dedicated financial support for these functions to sustain long-term, national scale research and training efforts.
