Renewal

I. Renewal of Advisory Committee

    The Department of State has renewed the Charter of the Advisory 
Committee for the Study of Eastern Europe and the Independent States of 
the Former Soviet Union. This advisory committee makes recommendations 
to the Secretary of State on funding for applications submitted for the 
Research and Training Program on Eastern Europe and the Independent 
States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII). These applications are 
submitted in response to an annual, open competition among U.S. 
national organizations with interest and expertise administering 
research and training programs in the Russian, Eurasian, and Central 
and East European fields. The program seeks to build and sustain U.S. 
expertise on these regions through support for advanced graduate 
training, language training, and postdoctoral research.
    The committee includes representatives of the Secretaries of 
Defense and Education, the Librarian of Congress, and the Presidents of 
the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies and the 
Association of American Universities. The Assistant Secretary for 
Intelligence and Research chairs the advisory committee for the 
Secretary of State. The committee meets at least annually to recommend 
grant policies and recipients.
    For further information, please call Susan Nelson, INR/RES, U.S. 
Department of State, (202) 736-4610.
