Overview
The US-UK Fulbright Commission opens competition for its prestigious awards for postgraduate study, research and lecturing in the US in 2011-12, with approximately £100k in new scholarship funding available.
This year, more outstanding British men and women will have the chance to win an award. Grants will be offered in a variety of fields and the Programme will include two new schemes the Fulbright Diabetes UK Research Award and Fulbright Scottish Studies Scholar Award.
For the first time an award will be available for academics interested in researching the clinical or biomedical aspects of diabetes, or the social or economic issues faced by people living with the diabetes. Offered in partnership with Diabetes UK, the Fulbright Diabetes UK Research Award provides a £75,000 grant to conduct research on the disease.
Through funding from the Scottish Government, the new Fulbright Scottish Studies Scholar Award fosters mutual understanding between the United States and Scotland. This new award aims to develop the 'Scottish Studies' discipline within US Higher Education and encourage further exchange opportunities to/from Scotland. One scholar will be awarded £23,500 to undertake lecturing and/or research in relevant subject areas such as Scottish history, law, art, music or politics.
Alongside these new schemes, Fulbright remains the only organisation offering scholarships for postgraduate study or research in any field, at any accredited US university. In addition to its all-discipline awards, Fulbright will offer its Alistair Cooke Award in Journalism, MBA Awards and International Science and Technology Awards schemes for postgraduate study in the United States. Funding is also available for scholarly work related to multiple sclerosis, British history and biochemistry, as well as professional exchange opportunities for UK civil servants, Northern Irish public sector administrators and police officers.
Further details regarding the awards, including biographies of this 2009-10 scholars, can be found on our website at: www.fulbright.co.uk. The deadline for application is 31 May 2010.
