Description
This multi-country research award, offered through the Fulbright Scholar Program with Fulbright Canada and COMEXUS, supports collaboration among scholars working on issues important to Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Projects may be disciplinary or interdisciplinary, but must promote collaboration and contribute to research on the trilateral relationship. Scholars may propose hosts at universities, government agencies, or research institutions in both countries.
All disciplines except medical training are welcome. Priority topics include North American regionalization, public policy, technology and AI, trade and supply chains, security, public health, and substance abuse and misuse. Activities may combine collaborative research with curriculum and capacity-building consultation, faculty and program development, and seminars or workshops. The exchange also aims to strengthen international understanding through engagement with host communities.
