I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
this program, which further aligns
resources provided by the Department
with the policies in the Native
American Languages Act (NALA), 25
U.S.C. 2901 et seq., is to support
establishing, strengthening, and
operating one or more Native American
language resource centers.
Background: Congress recently
emphasized the need to support the use
of Native American languages as a
medium of instruction for a variety of
age levels, academic content areas, and
types of schools, including Native
American language medium education
by passing the Native American
Language Resource Center Act of 2022
(NALRCA) (20 U.S.C. 7457). According
to a 2011 U.S. Census American
Community Survey (ACS), it is
estimated that during 2006–2010 there
were fewer than 372,095 Native
language speakers in the United States.1
One out of every four Native students,
in fourth or eighth grade, has had no
exposure to a Native American
language.2
The NALRC Program supports
projects that will preserve, protect, and

promote the rights and freedom of
Native Americans to use, practice, and
develop Native American languages in
furtherance of the policies in NALA and
the United States trust responsibility to
Tribal Nations. Native American
language resource centers supported by
the NALRC Program will be staffed by
individuals with relevant expertise and
experience, including staff who speak
American Indian, Alaska Native, or
Native Hawaiian languages and have
worked in Native language education in
a preschool, elementary school,
secondary school, adult education, or
higher education program. For FY 2023,
this competition includes two absolute
priorities, one for regional centers and
one for a national center, to advance
policies set forth in NALA, including
the rights of Native Americans to
express themselves through Native
American languages in any public
proceeding, including publicly
supported education programs. 25
U.S.C. 2904. This competition also
includes a competitive preference
priority for projects that are led by a
Tribal college or university (TCU).
Tribal Consultation: This competition
was informed by Tribal consultation
with elected Tribal leaders or their
officially designated proxies. The
Department held a virtual Tribal
consultation on January 10, 2023, and
announced the opportunity through
various external community listservs.
The Department requested input from
Tribal Nations on whether the program
should be administered through a
contractual agreement or grant
competition. The majority of Tribal
leaders favored using contractual
agreements, depending on the functions
of the NALRC Program. Other Tribal
leaders noted potential inequities in
grant competitions because some Tribal
Nations have greater access to highquality grant writers. After considering
the comments received, the Department
will administer the program through a
grant competition and may convert
awards to cooperative agreements at any
point if the grantee agrees. This
competition includes a competitive
preference priority for TCU lead
applicants to address Tribal leader
concerns regarding access to highquality grant writers.
The Department requested input from
Tribal Nations on what priorities would
strengthen implementation of the
program. The majority of Tribal leaders
expressed the importance of regional
representation of Native language needs
and that such needs must inform the
work of the NALRC Program. Other
Tribal leaders also expressed the need
for the NALRC Program to advance the
