Description
The Fulbright Canada Traditional Scholar Awards for Americans provide funding for U.S. scholars to undertake independent research, teach, or a combination of both at any university, government agency, or research institution in Canada. Projects should address topics relevant to Canada, the United States, or the bilateral relationship, with a strong emphasis on contemporary issues. Scholars are expected to collaborate with Canadian colleagues, engage students, and participate in the local community. A key aspect of the award is demonstrating the necessity of residence in Canada to complete the proposed work, thereby fostering cross-border academic exchange and mutual understanding.
