Description
The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program provides opportunities for doctoral students to engage in dissertation research abroad in modern foreign languages and area studies.

Key aspects of the program include:
* Research projects that focus on specific geographic regions of the world
* Competitive preference priorities for projects that focus on less commonly taught languages, academic fields such as science and technology, and promoting equity in student access to educational resources and opportunities
* Fellowships that provide funding for 6-12 months of research abroad
* Applications that are submitted electronically through the G5 system
* A review process that evaluates the quality of the proposed project, the qualifications of the applicant, and the potential impact of the research on the field of study
