Overview
The Fulbright NEXUS Program brings together a network of junior scholars, professionals and mid-career applied researchers from Western Hemisphere nations for a series of three seminar meetings and a Fulbright residential exchange experience.
Through international exchanges, seminars, and collaborative research, up to 20 Fulbright participants (1/3 from the United States, 2/3 from Canada and other countries of the Western Hemisphere) will engage in collaborative thinking, analysis, and problem-solving with a focus on improving the quality of life for communities in the region. Fulbright NEXUS Scholars will conduct individual and team-based research projects designed to generate knowledge-based, policy-oriented solutions with immediate and practical implementation potential at the local, national, or regional levels.
Program themes include:
Science, Technology, and Innovation
Entrepreneurship
Sustainable Energy
The program will begin in May 2011 and end in April 2012. Scholars will participate in three week-long meetings of the full group, including an orientation meeting in May 2011, a mid-term meeting in October 2011 and a final plenary seminar in April 2012. Non U.S. participants will also complete a two to three month research exchange visit to the United States
A Fulbright NEXUS award includes travel and research funding in the amount of US$30,000. This allowance is intended to support travel to all program meetings, travel and maintenance for the exchange visit, research materials and assistance. Accommodations and meals for program seminar meetings will be covered separately. Grants also include limited accident and sickness benefits.
Application Deadline: November 15, 2010
Successful candidates will be notified of their awards the end of February, 2011.
Eligibility:
A Ph.D. or equivalent professional/terminal degree is preferred, but is not required.
Candidates with a Master’s degree are required to have a minimum of five years research experience.
Preference will be given to early or mid-career academics, applied researchers and/or practitioners with research experience in the public, non-profit, or private sector.
Must be a Canadian citizen and not hold dual Canada-U.S. citizenship. Applicants holding permanent residency “green cards”, whether or not they reside in the U.S., are not eligible.
