Ireland - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright Ireland Open Study/Research Award supports U.S. citizens to pursue independent postgraduate research in any discipline, including the creative arts, or a taught master's degree in Ireland. The award provides an 8-10 month grant period commencing in August or September. The Fulbright Commission in Ireland seeks applicants who demonstrate academic, personal, and professional excellence, leadership experience and potential, and a strong rationale for pursuing their project in Ireland. The Commission particularly welcomes applications from candidates affiliated with academic or cultural institutions or governmental/non-governmental agencies, especially those with projects connected to strategic areas including Future Technologies, Irish-U.S. Relations, Arts & Culture, Truth, and Climate. Grantees are expected to extend themselves beyond their project to become actively involved in Irish society and the work of the Fulbright Commission, engaging with a wide range of stakeholders to maximize their academic and cultural exchange experience.
