The Institute administers training, institutional resource development, outreach, and research programs aimed at involving a more representative cross-section of the American citizenry in international affairs. Through a comprehensive program of summer policy institutes, study abroad, intensive language training, internships, graduate study mentoring and career development, the IIPP Fellowship Program provides underrepresented minority students with the education and training needed to successfully enter, advance, and lead in international affairs careers. The fellowship program is complemented by the IIPP Institutional Resource Development Grant Program, which supports the creation, expansion and improvement of international education programs at minority-serving colleges and universities; and IIPP has recently added research and evaluation capabilities that serve the projects mission, goals and objectives. IIPP is working to extend the training pipeline downward to include K-12 students through a nationwide network of partners and upward to benefit young professionals, through the International Career Advancement Program, which IIPP co-sponsors with the Aspen Institute, the University of Denver and several independent foundations. The The Institute is emerging as a valuable clearinghouse of information on issues of cultural competence and diversity as national security and global competitiveness imperatives.   Languages: Countries: Arabic Brazilian Portuguese Chinese Chinese, Cantonese Chinese, Mandarin Dinka Farsi, Eastern French German Guyanese Hindi Japanese Korean Portuguese Russian Tagalog Vietnamese Argentina Belgium Brazil Chile China Colombia Congo Costa Rica Czech Republic Dominican Republic Egypt El Salvador France Germany Ghana Guatemala Hungary India Italy Japan Jordan Kenya Mexico Morocco Namibia Panama Paraguay Poland Senegal South Africa Spain Switzerland Tanzania United Arab Emirates United Kingdom United States of America Venezuela Vietnam   Disciplines: Subjects: Business administration and management Communications Economics Education Engineering English Ethnic studies Finance Foreign languages and literature Global/international relations and studies International business International/area studies Journalism Law Literature Political science Public administration Public policy Women's studies Foreign Language Programs (Domestic) Foreign Language Programs (Overseas) Graduate Fellowships Instructional Materials Interdisciplinary Studies International Business Internships K-12 Opportunities Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTL) Multidisciplinary Studies Outreach Overseas Opportunities Professional Development Professional School Linkages Research Self-Instructional Language Programs Summer Opportunities Surveys And Studies Undergraduate Education Undergraduate Fellowships Underrepresented Groups   Abstracts   2018 Paperwork Reduction Notice International and Foreign Language Education U.S. Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) Building 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W.
