Description
The Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad (FRA) Fellowship Program provides grants to colleges and universities to fund faculty members seeking to improve their area studies and foreign language skills by conducting research abroad. The program aims to contribute to the development and improvement of the study of modern foreign languages and area studies in the United States. Key priorities include specific geographic regions of the world, less commonly taught languages, thematic focus on academic fields, and promoting equity in student access to educational resources and opportunities. The program has an absolute priority for research projects that focus on specific geographic areas, and competitive preference priorities for projects that focus on less commonly taught languages, thematic focus on academic fields, and promoting equity in student access to educational resources and opportunities.
