Description
The Fulbright All Disciplines award supports academic exchange in Jamaica through research, teaching, combined teaching/research, and professional or artistic projects. The U.S. government-sponsored Fulbright Scholar Program seeks work that directly strengthens Jamaican host institutions and lays foundations for future partnerships with U.S. institutions. Activities may include independent or collaborative research, undergraduate or graduate teaching, seminars, mentoring, thesis advising, and faculty, curriculum, or program development.
All disciplines are welcomed. Priorities include security, trade, governance, health, education, energy, economic development, democratic citizenship, and cultural and creative sectors. Scholars are encouraged to disseminate their work publicly and engage local communities. Teaching/research applicants should ideally allocate 45% of their time to teaching, 45% to research, and 10% to outreach. Professional projects should address a priority area and demonstrate concrete mutual benefits for the scholar and host.
