This Fulbright U.S. Scholar award supports teaching or combined teaching and research at universities in Mozambique. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered by the Institute of International Education, the program promotes international understanding through academic exchange, student mentoring, and host-community engagement. Approximately two recipients are supported.
Projects are welcome across all disciplines. Scholars teach undergraduate or graduate courses, advise theses, and contribute to curriculum planning and program evaluation. Teaching/Research awards divide time equally between teaching and research, either simultaneously or by semester, with approximately two courses during the grant. Teaching-only scholars teach approximately three courses. Activities may include co-teaching, professional development workshops, and public talks. Graduate student participation in research is encouraged where possible; faculty research collaboration is not required.
