## What the grant funds

The Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA/A/E), U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for a Cooperative Agreement to assist in the FY 2022 administration of the worldwide Fulbright Scholar Program, pending the availability of funds. The Fulbright Scholar Program is a major component of the overall Fulbright Program. For 75 years, the core Fulbright U.S. and Visiting Scholar Programs have offered awards for college and university faculty, including early career scholars, and for non-academic professionals (such as attorneys, artists, journalists, and business professionals), to lecture and conduct research abroad. More than 100,000 U.S. and visiting (non-U.S.) scholars and professionals have participated in these exchanges since the Fulbright Program's inception in 1946. The core Fulbright Scholar Program currently sends, each year, approximately 958 U.S. scholars and professionals abroad to lecture, conduct research, and provide academic consulting at overseas institutions. Reciprocally, the program brings approximately 1,037 visiting scholars from more than 100 countries to the United States for similar activities hosted primarily, but not exclusively, at U.S. colleges and universities. Responsibility for the management of the Fulbright Scholar Program will be shared between the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., 49 binational Fulbright commissions abroad, approximately 100 U.S. embassies, and the award recipient in the United States solicited through this NOFO. Overall policy and selection guidelines for the Fulbright Scholar Program are determined by the Presidentially-appointed J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FFSB). The organization that is awarded the Cooperative Agreement under this competition will be responsible for the recruitment, selection, placement, monitoring, and organization of enrichment activities for participants (including pre-departure orientations for U.S. scholars, and also for U.S. Fulbright students, whose other program activities are not included in this NOFO), program promotion, disbursement of funds, and record keeping for both the Fulbright U.S. and Visiting Scholar Programs. This work will be supervised under the auspices of a Cooperative Agreement by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State.
