Business Language Research and Teaching Awards In order to encourage faculty, lecturers, and graduate students in foreign language departments to add a business-language dimension to their research and teaching, the 16 Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBERs) have pledged a portion of their Title VI CIBER grant funding to support the Business Language Research and Teaching (BLRT) Awards. In 2023, two $4,000 and one $5,000 awards will be made to research or teaching projects in foreign languages (excluding ESL and ASL). The 2023 BLRT recipients will present their research findings at the 2024 International Symposium on Language for Specific Purposes. Recipients will also receive a travel stipend of up to $1,000 to cover costs associated with presenting at this conference. Recipients will also contribute a write-up on their BLRT project for publication in the Global Business Language Journal.

All proposals should be submitted via email to IU CIBER (ciber@indiana.edu) by April 3, 2023.
