Advisory Committee for the Study of Eastern Europe and the 
Independent States of the Former Soviet Union; Notice of Committee 
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 Eurasian 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 Slavic, East European and Eurasian 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 once annually to 
recommend grant policies and recipients.
    For further information, please call Anita Bristol, U.S. Department 
of State, (202) 736-4572.

    Dated: April 19, 2013.
