The Fulbright Alumni Institutional Development Grant

/în , , , , , , /de

The Fulbright Alumni Institutional Development Grant is intended to facilitate the development of partnerships and joint projects between Romanian and U.S. institutions by building upon the academic and professional networks created by Fulbright Alumni during their grants in the United States.

Romanian Fulbright Visiting Scholar Alumni can apply for up to $10,000 towards implementing a project in their home institution that continues the collaboration with their U.S. counterparts, this time replicated and diversified at an institutional level. As a follow-up to their Fulbright teaching/research award in the United States, this development grant enables alumni to demonstrate initiative and leadership, to further develop their professional connections with their U.S. colleagues, and to enhance their role as change agents for the internationalization of higher education in their home academic environment.

The aim of the grant is to support the design and implementation of alumni initiatives and activities which achieve short and long term objectives of ongoing institutional collaboration between Romania and the United States.
