Description
The Fulbright Scholar Program, through Fulbright Canada, offers pre-arranged research chair affiliations at Canadian universities for scholars pursuing work important to their host institution. The program supports research and teaching/research activities across mental health, water, health and environmental education, food security, One Health, sustainability, and environmental human health. Scholars may conduct their own research or collaborate with host colleagues.
The chairs combine scholarly work with engagement in campus and community life. Activities can include guest lectures, student mentoring, public presentations, and collaboration across disciplines. This exchange advances Fulbright’s mission of strengthening relationships between people in the United States and other nations while promoting international understanding and cooperation.
