The National Resource Center (NRC) program of the United States Department of Education provided funding grants to American universities to establish, strengthen, and operate language and area or international studies centers that were national resources for teaching any modern foreign language.

Also known as Title VI grants, because the program was formally established in Title VI, Part A, § 602 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (Title VI was originally authorized as Title VI of the National Defense Education Act of 1958 as a response to the launch of Sputnik and the U.S. government’s recognition that a stronger and broader capacity in foreign language and area studies was needed); these grants supported undergraduate and graduate programs that focus on:

instruction of fields and topics that provide full understanding of areas, regions or countries; research and training in international studies; work in the language aspects of professional fields and research, and instruction and research on issues critical to current world affairs. National Resource Centers are also described in 34 CFR (Title 34) Part 656.

The NRC grants were awarded on a quadrennial schedule, through a competition overseen by the Office of International and Foreign Language Education (formerly the International Education Programs Service) within the Department of Education. The most recent award competition provided funding for the FY 2022–2025 period.
