Middle East and North Africa Regional Short-Term Visiting Fulbright
Scholar Program in Science and Technology

Greetings from the Council for International Exchange of Scholars.
We want to make you aware of a new Fulbright Scholar Program. The
2011 Middle East and North Africa Regional Short-Term Fulbright
Visiting Scholar Program in Science and Technology offers an
opportunity for U.S. higher education institutions to develop or
enhance ties with institutions in North Africa and the Middle East.
A total of  twenty-five scholars will be hosted by 5 selected U.S.
institutions from September 21 to December 8, 2011. There will be 5
discipline-based cohorts composed of 5 scholars in one of the
following areas:

    Science and Technology
    Engineering
    Environmental/earth sciences
    Agricultural/Food Security
    Information technology

Host institutions will receive $5,000 per scholar for administration
of the program.  They will be also reimbursed up to $4,500 per
scholar for housing and up to $1,000 per scholar to cover any
institutional fees (e.g.,  access to libraries, use of computer
system, or lab fees).

For details about the program and instructions on how to submit a
proposal, please visit:

    <URL:http://www.cies.org/Fulbright/MENA/>

The Host Institution Guidelines found on the Web site provide
details about proposed activities for the grantees.

Proposals are due on Tuesday, February 1, 2011.

A webinar on program details and how to prepare a successful
proposal will be presented on January 13, 2011 and again on January
20, 2011

Your assistance in informing pertinent departments and
administrators on your campus about this program will be greatly
appreciated.
