The Fulbright Scholar Program is offering 800 lecturing, research or combined lecturing/research awards in over 130 countries and all regions of the world during the 2009-2010 academic year, including opportunities for specialists in criminology, criminal justice, and social problems.  Faculty and professionals in criminology or criminal justice may apply not only for the awards specifically in their field, but also for one of the many "All Discipline" awards open to any field.  For specific awards in the area of criminal justice/criminology, see www.cies.org/campus_reps/download/Criminology.pdf.

U.S. Fulbright Scholars enjoy an experience of a lifetime, one that provides a broad cultural perspective on their academic disciplines and connects them with colleagues at institutions around the globe.  Awards range from two months to an academic year.  Grants are awarded to faculty of all academic ranks, including adjunct and emeritus.  Foreign language skills are needed in some countries, but most Fulbright lecturing assignments are in English.

The application deadline for Fulbright traditional lecturing and research grants worldwide is August 1, 2008.  For a listing of current opportunities in criminology, download this flyer.  U.S. citizenship is required for U.S. Fulbright Scholar grants.  For other eligibility requirements, detailed award descriptions, and an application, visit www.cies.org

Fulbright Academy Committee Opportunities

The Fulbright Academy is seeking individuals from around the world to serve on Academy committees.

We currently have five programs that could benefit from your input. These initiatives are funded by outside partners, and they bring together Fulbright scholars and other experts to address specific topics.

1. Committee on Digital Archives; seed funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This project is addressing access to and distribution of electronic information. As part of this project, we will be hosting a Fulbright Film Festival next spring.

2. Committee on Science Literacy; seed funding through a NSF contract to Indiana University. This will be a multi-year initiative, and we are starting with a small project that focuses on public perceptions of bacteria.

3. Committee on Clinical Research Ethics; seed funding from the American Board of Healthcare Law & Medicine. This bioethics project compares national and international codes and standards for conducting research on human subjects.

4. History of Science & Impacts of Fulbright; seed funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This project is collecting stories and other data to describe the positive impact that the Fulbright program has on science and the world at large.

5. Meetings Committee. This committee helps plan and organize meetings, such as the March 2007 Conference in Panama, the 2008 Conference in Asia, and forums held around the world.

6. Board of Directors & Advisory Board. These boards oversee the work of the Academy and help it establish relationships with individuals, foundations, organizations, agencies, and institutions of higher education.

If you would like to be involved in any of these committees, please send an email to info@FulbrightAcademy.org.
