Center for Advanced Study of Language (original) (raw)

The University of Maryland (UMD) Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL) — which in 2018 became part of UMD’s new Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) — was created to be the national laboratory for advanced research and development on language and national security. Founded in 2003 under Department of Defense funding as a University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) and located in College Park, Maryland, CASL was a partnership between the University of Maryland and the United States Government. In June 2013 CASL was said to be the largest language research center in the United States.
