Moldova - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright Moldova Open Study/Research Award supports U.S. citizens to conduct independent research projects at Moldovan universities and/or research institutions for 9 months. Proposals are welcomed from well-qualified candidates at all degree levels with established relations at the host institution. All disciplines are accepted, including fields of science and technology, arts, humanities, and social sciences. Grantees will be based primarily in Chisinau, the capital, and will engage with Moldova's unique multi-ethnic culture with Romanian and Soviet heritage. The program seeks applicants who demonstrate professional and academic excellence, outline a strong rationale for pursuing their project in Moldova, and possess qualities of a cultural ambassador with genuine interest in promoting mutual understanding. Preference is given to Master's and Ph.D. candidates who plan to carry out individual research projects and who demonstrate a track record of successful independent study.
