Program Description
Grants for professors (university lecturers) and research scholars
are usually, although not always, for a full academic year, and generally
tenable in one country. The lectureships permit the grantees to lecture,
usually serving as visiting professors in institutions of higher learning.
The research grants offer opportunities for U.S. citizens to undertake
postdoctoral research at overseas universities, colleges, and certain
research centers and institutes. Individual grants generally include
round-trip transportation, for the grantee and in some cases for one or two
dependents, a maintenance allowance payable in foreign currency where
available, and an allowance for travel, books and services essential to the
assignment.
General Program Requirements
