Funding Now Available for Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowships for 2013 -2014
The Department of Education has made a last-minute decision to offer the Fulbright-Hays DDRA program for academic year 2012-2013. The application package is available in the G5 e-Application system at www.G5.gov. Access to the package can also be downloaded here: FY13 DDRA Application Package.pdf.
Cornell deadline: Thursday, May 23rd, 2013
The awards provide generous support to individual doctoral students who conduct research in other countries, in modern foreign languages, and area studies for periods of six to 12 months.
Prospective candidates for the DDRA program should look carefully at both, the absolute priority listing and the competitive preference priorities. Among the latter is the regular 5 point addition to the score if the research utilizes one of the lesser-taught languages and a 5 point preference if the research is in a subject field that has relatively direct relevance to world (and United States) concerns. The new subject fields are economics, engineering, international development, global education, mathematics, political science, public health, science, or technology. Since the awards often reflected the additional points accorded for the competitive priorities, this change now favors the new fields. Students in those fields who have not considered the Fulbright-Hays fellowship as a possibility are encouraged to look carefully at this opportunity. Last year, four Cornell students received the Fulbright-Hays awards. For more information, see http://einaudi.cornell.edu/node/11645.
Applicants are strongly advised to contact the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies (fulbright@einaudi.cornell.edu; phone 607-255-8933) for additional information and to arrange individual counseling sessions with Cornell's Fulbright-Hays advisor, Professor Emeritus Gil Levine.
The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad program is administered at Cornell University by the Einaudi Center.
