Scholar-in-Residence Program

The main purpose of the Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence program is to bring scholars and professionals from 150 countries worldwide to U.S. campuses that do not usually have the opportunity to host Visiting Fulbright Scholars and that serve student populations underrepresented in international exchange programs. Institutions that are given priority for the SIR program include: community colleges, regional universities, and minority-serving institutions. Each fall U.S. institutions of higher education submit proposals to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) under the global Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) program to bring scholars to campus for one or both semesters of the next academic year.

U.S. institutions either invite specific scholars by name or, through CIES, request that Fulbright Commissions or posts recruit candidates.

At present the Moscow Fulbright Office does not recruit candidates or accept applications for the SIR Program.
