Dr. Robert Cunningham has been appointed to the roster of the Fulbright Specialist Program for a 5-year term. Roster candidates are reviewed by peers in the same discipline, and by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB). The program promotes linkages between U.S. academics and professionals and their counterparts at host institutions overseas. It is designed to award grants to qualified U.S. faculty and professionals, in select disciplines, for short-term (2- to 6-week) collaborative projects at host institutions in over 100 countries worldwide.
Project activities focus on strengthening and supporting the development needs of the host institutions and do not fund personal or clinical medical research and related projects involving patient contact. Eligible activities include short-term lecturing, conducting seminars, teacher training, special conferences or workshops, as well as collaborating on curriculum planning, institutional and/or faculty development.
