Overview
2012-2013 Middle East and North Africa Regional Short-term Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program
The NEA Fulbright Branch in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs is pleased to announce the new 2012 MIDDLE EAST and NORTH AFRICA REGIONAL SHORT-TERM FULBRIGHT VISITING SCHOLAR PROGRAM IN SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY. This specially-designed three-month scholar program will be offered in September 2012.
The program will offer scholars from the region the opportunity for close collaboration with U.S. faculty colleagues who have strong expertise in their subject areas. The program is intended to help build capacity of universities and scholarly communities in North Africa and the Middle East. The U.S. hosts will provide access to libraries, laboratories, and faculty as well as instruction, consultation and observation of professionals in each scholar’s field.
This new special three month program will lay the foundation for the visiting scholars and their U.S. hosts to develop long-term institutional relationships that will be sustained after the end of the grant. This program is intended for full-time faculty only, government officials are not eligible to apply. Although, they are senior faculty they may be expected to enroll in workshops or take short courses to enhance their professional skills.
The applicants and institutions will be finalized by early spring 2012. The host institutions will receive the dossiers of the candidates no later than March 2012 when the candidates are notified of their selection. The program will begin in the U.S. in early September, 2012 with an arrival orientation in Washington.
The twenty-five scholars will come first to Washington, D.C. as a group for three day arrival orientation program beginning September 2012 before travelling to their host institutions. The grantees will spend the following eleven and a half weeks with their U.S. host universities. The program will conclude by December 2012.
This new short-term Fulbright program will be offered in addition to the annually-offered academic year Visiting Scholar Program which will proceed as scheduled. Results from the short term pilot program will be carefully evaluated to determine next year's availability.
The Program Goal:
It provides opportunities for faculty and institutional development in science and technology through exposure to methods of faculty and instructional development, educational leadership models, academic governance, and assessment tools. Scholars are clustered in small discipline-based groups at U.S. host universities to pursue intensive guided study and research activities with U.S. faculty counterparts. They interact with Americans and their communities through cultural and extracurricular activities designed to acquaint them with American cultural and society. The program is not intended to support individual research projects.
