Colombia Open Study/Research Award

The U.S. Study/Research Award enables young professionals, recent graduates, artists, and graduate students to conduct collaborative research projects for up to 8 months at a higher education institution, research center, public institution, or NGO in Colombia. This program promotes academic mobility and integration for professionals, young researchers, artists, and graduate students while laying the groundwork for further academic collaboration and fostering interdisciplinary work/research that addresses different needs and challenges in Colombia and the U.S. This award creates linkages between U.S. Student Researchers and key stakeholders in Colombia, including government agencies, entrepreneurs, NGOs, local communities, students, and others, and supports internationalization processes at Colombian higher education institutions and other eligible host institutions. Graduate students conducting thesis/dissertation research are strongly preferred. On average, no more than five awards are granted annually.
