Description

The Fulbright Scholar Program’s Business and Economics award supports teaching, research, combined teaching/research, and professional projects at host institutions in Bahrain. Eligible fields are accounting/finance, business, and economics. Preferred topics include entrepreneurship, public-private partnerships, investment, nongovernmental organizations, free trade agreements, and bilateral trade relationships. Scholars may pursue their own research or host-designated projects, teach undergraduate or graduate courses, mentor students, and contribute to faculty, curriculum, or program development.

Professional projects support exchanges of expertise through organizational visits, practical experience, public lectures, and related professional activities. As part of the U.S. government’s international educational exchange program, the award also promotes mutual understanding and cooperation. Scholars may be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with the host community beyond their primary project.
