2009-2010 Fulbright Scholar Program. Applying for Research Grants
The Fulbright program is administered by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs which is represented in Estonia by the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section. The primary purpose of the Fulbright program is to promote mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the peoples of other countries for a variety of educational activities.
The Fulbright Scholar Program in Estonia offers research grants in all fields, except for medical studies. These are grants for Estonians to conduct research at universities or special libraries/collections in the United States. Candidates may be university teachers or researchers, or professionals whose expertise would be enhanced by further study or research in their field.
Most grants are awarded for a period of three to ten months. Subject to availability of funds, some grants may be extended for limited periods.
Eligibility requirements for Estonian researchers:
Estonian citizenship
doctoral degree or equivalent professional training or experience
proficiency in English appropriate to the proposed lecturing or research project to be carried out in the United States
a detailed statement of proposed activity for research or lecturing at an American institution
good health
Initial screening and endorsement of a scholar's application will be done by a selection committee coordinated by the U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Section.
