Executive Summary: The Office of
Academic Programs, Bureau of
Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA),
U.S. Department of State announces an
open competition for a cooperative
agreement to assist in the FY 2012
administration of the worldwide
Fulbright Scholar Program. The
Fulbright Scholar Program is a major
component of the overall Fulbright
Program, which also includes the
Fulbright Student Program.
For more than 60 years, the Fulbright
Scholar Program has offered awards for
college and university faculty, as well as
for non-academic professionals (such as
lawyers, artists, and journalists) and
independent scholars, to lecture and
conduct research abroad. Tens of
thousands of U.S. and non-U.S. scholars
and professionals have participated in
these exchanges since the Fulbright
Program’s inception in 1946.
The Fulbright Scholar Program
currently sends approximately 1,300
qualified U.S. scholars and
professionals abroad to lecture, conduct
research, and provide academic
consulting at overseas institutions for
long- and short-term programs.
Conversely, the program brings
approximately 900 visiting (non-U.S.)
participants from approximately 150
countries to the United States for similar
activities.
Responsibility for the management of
the Fulbright Scholar Program is shared
between the U.S. Department of State in
Washington, DC, fifty bilateral Fulbright
commissions, approximately 100 U.S.
embassies overseas, and a private sector,
cooperating agency in the United States.
Overall policy guidelines for the
Fulbright Scholar Program are
determined by the Presidentially
appointed J. William Fulbright Foreign
Scholarship Board (FSB).
The organization that is awarded the
cooperative agreement under this
competition will be responsible for
recruitment, selection, placement,
facilitation of enrichment activities for
