The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement to establish a University Partnership between an accredited, four-year U.S. college or university and the National University of Modern Languages in English Linguistics, Literature, and English Language Teaching. Accredited U.S. four-year colleges and universities meeting the provisions described in Internal Revenue Code section 26 USC 501(c)(3) may submit proposals to pursue institutional or departmental objectives in partnership with the National University of Modern Languages. Objectives detailed as priorities for the National University of Modern Languages include curriculum development including long distance teaching via DVC/internet, collaborative research, faculty development and sharing of resources. The means of achieving these objectives is purposefully left broad to encourage the submission of innovative proposals tailored to the international education and research goals of both institutions.

The project implementation period should be 3 years.
