Print this Article | Send to Colleague

The Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP) promotes linkages between U.S. scholars and professionals and their counterparts at host institutions abroad. The program awards grants to qualified U.S. faculty and professionals, in select disciplines, to engage in short-term collaborative two- to six-week projects at eligible institutions in over 140 countries worldwide. Eligible non-U.S. institutions submit project requests through the appropriate Fulbright agency in their country (the U.S. embassy or a Fulbright Commission).

The Specialist Program is currently seeking projects and potential Fulbright Specialists that focus on or incorporate the training and sharing of information that involve the production and use of Open Educational Resources (OER). Please visit www.cies.org/Specialist/ for more information.
