Description

The Office of Academic Exchange Programs in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) at the U.S. Department of State invites proposal submissions for a cooperative agreement to assist in the FY 2022 administration of the Fulbright Specialist Program, pending the availability of funds. The Fulbright Specialist Program is a key element of the Fulbright Program and a distinct component of the Fulbright Scholar Program. It offers opportunities for U.S. academics and professionals (such as attorneys, business professionals, artists, and journalists) who possess significant professional, academic or artistic experience in their respective field, to build capacity and promote linkages between their home and overseas host institutions by engaging in short-term, collaborative projects.For 75 years, the Fulbright Scholar Program has offered awards for college and university faculty, as well as for non-academic professionals and independent scholars, to lecture and conduct research abroad. Tens of thousands of U.S. and non-U.S. scholars and professionals have participated in these exchanges since the Fulbright Program’s inception in 1946. The Fulbright Specialist Program sends approximately 465 U.S. academics and professionals annually to educational and other institutions in all regions of the world for periods ranging from two to six weeks. The Fulbright Specialist Program is unique in Fulbright’s suite of programming in that U.S. Fulbrighters do not carry out their own research agenda, but rather are matched to projects designed by partner host institutions overseas. During the short-term exchange, specialists share their expertise, strengthen institutional linkages, hone their professional skills, gain international experience, and learn about other cultures while building capacity at their overseas host institutions, which may include universities, teacher-training institutions, government ministries, cultural institutions, NGOs, and think tanks. Please see the full announcement for additional information.
