The Fulbright Scholar Program is offering 43 lecturing, research or combined lecturing/research awards in agriculture during the 2009-2010 academic year, including several with a particular focus on sustainable agriculture.  U.S. Fulbright Scholars in over 130 countries around the world enjoy an experience of a lifetime, gaining a broad cultural perspective on their academic disciplines and connecting with colleagues at institutions around the globe.

Awards range from two months to an academic year.  Faculty and professionals in agriculture may apply for awards specifically in their field or for one of the many "All Discipline" awards open to any field.

Grants are awarded to faculty of all academic ranks, including adjunct and emeritus.  In most countries lecturing is in English, though awards in Latin America, Francophone Africa, and the Middle East may require proficiency in another language.

The application deadline for Fulbright traditional lecturing and research grants worldwide is August 1, 2008.  U.S. citizenship is required.  For other eligibility requirements, detailed award descriptions, and an application, visit our website at www.cies.org, or send a request for materials to apprequest@cies.iie.org.
