In order to engage U.S. scholars unable to spend extended periods of time abroad, the Fulbright Scholar Program welcomes applications from faculty and researchers who propose multiple, short-term stays in the host country over a period of two to three years. Flex Awards are also designed for scholars who require multiple visits abroad to accomplish their research objectives. In addition to their research activities, Flex award scholars will be required to give public talks, participate in seminars, mentor students, and otherwise engage with the host country academic community. Specific details on invitation requirements and grant length will vary by country, and can be found in each individual
award listing. For more information about this new program model, visit our
website or the
Fulbright Scholar Blog.
