Bosnia & Herzegovina - Open Study/Research Award

This Fulbright program provides grants to conduct non-degree, full-time research at the graduate level at institutions of higher education in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a maximum of nine months. The program is designed for U.S. citizens who want to undertake independent research projects in any field. Grantees are expected to serve as responsible representatives of their home country, successfully undertake full-time research at the graduate level, and adjust to life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Research proposals should reflect enduring concerns, demonstrate sound methodology, and avoid politicization of scholarly inquiry. Grantees advance their academic work, establish professional contacts in their academic fields, gain international experience and personal enrichment, and help promote mutual understanding between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a post-war country in transition, and there are opportunities to engage with citizens on issues of reconstruction, reconciliation, and recovery.
