Description

The Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA/A/E), U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for a Cooperative Agreement to assist in the FY 2022 administration of the worldwide Fulbright Scholar Program, pending the availability of funds.

More than 100,000 U.S. and visiting (non-U.S.) scholars and professionals have participated in these exchanges since the Fulbright Program's inception in 1946. The core Fulbright Scholar Program currently sends, each year, approximately 958 U.S. scholars and professionals abroad to lecture, conduct research, and provide academic consulting at overseas institutions. Reciprocally, the program brings approximately 1,037 visiting scholars from more than 100 countries to the United States for similar activities hosted primarily, but not exclusively, at U.S. colleges and universities. Responsibility for the management of the Fulbright Scholar Program will be shared between the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., 49 binational Fulbright commissions abroad, approximately 100 U.S. embassies, and the award recipient in the United States solicited through this NOFO.
