Fulbright
Lecturing/Research Grants: 2003-2004
The
Fulbright Scholar Program is offering lecturing/research awards
in some 140 countries for the 2003-2004 academic year. The competition
opened March 1.
Opportunities
are available not only for college and university faculty and
administrators, but also for professionals from business and government,
as well as artists, journalists, scientists, lawyers, independent
scholars and many others. There are awards in 37 different disciplines
and professional fields, as well as in a variety of subdisciplines
such as gender studies and peace studies.
Traditional
Fulbright awards are available from two months to an academic
year or longer. A new short-term grants program--the Fulbright
Senior Specialists Program--offers two-to-six-week grants in a
variety of disciplines and fields.
While
foreign language skills are needed in some countries, most Fulbright
lecturing assignments are in English. Some 80 percent of the awards
are for lecturing.

-
May 1 for Fulbright Distinguished Chair awards in
Europe, Canada and Russia
-
August 1 for Fulbright traditional lecturing and
research grants worldwide
-
