CIES peer review committees will conduct a screening of candidates in fall. A pool of semi-finalists will be forwarded to the Commission.

Please note: Recipients of a traditional Fulbright Senior Scholar award (defined as longer than two months) are eligible to receive another traditional award five years after the date of completion of the previous award. The maximum number of traditional Fulbright Senior Scholar awards is two in a lifetime.

The five-year requirement between traditional awards does not apply to the Fulbright Specialist Program or other short-term awards, which are defined as awards of under two months duration. Recipients of a short-term award are eligible to receive a traditional or a second short-term award two years after the completion of the preceding short-term award. Recipients of a traditional award are eligible to receive a short-term award two years after the completion of the traditional award. The maximum number of any combination of traditional Fulbright awards for Senior Scholars is limited to two, with a Fulbright Specialist award counting as ½.

Distinguished Chair Program:
The Fulbright Distinguished Chairs Program in Austria comprises one distinguished lecturing award for four months. Awards in the Fulbright Distinguished Chairs Program are viewed as among the most prestigious appointments in the Fulbright Scholar Program.

If 2011-12 is not a convenient time for you to apply or if the specialization is not a match, please note that several of these chairs will be continued in future years with likely changes in specializations. Please contact CIES in February each year for updated information.

If you have further questions about the 2011-12 awards or the submission/review process, please feel free to contact:
