The Fulbright Senior Specialists Program is designed to provide short-term academic opportunities (two to six weeks) for U.S. faculty and professionals. Shorter grant lengths give specialists greater flexibility to pursue a grant that works best with their current academic or professional commitments. Applications for the Fulbright Senior Specialists Program are accepted on a rolling basis, and peer review of applications is conducted eight times per year. Program Goals are:

• To increase the participation of leading U.S. scholars and professionals in Fulbright academic exchanges
• To encourage new activities that goes beyond the traditional Fulbright activities of lecturing and research
• To promote increased connections between U.S. and non-U.S. post-secondary academic institutions
