Oman - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright Open Study/Research Award for Oman provides U.S. citizens the opportunity to conduct research in Oman for 10 months. Oman is an Arab country located on the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula with a developed economy and a highly literate population. The Fulbright program in Oman aims to strengthen the U.S.-Oman relationship through educational and cultural partnerships. Ideal applicants should propose a distinctive research project relevant to Oman that can be reasonably accomplished in 10 months. Proposals in all fields are welcome, with some caveats regarding politically sensitive topics. The award provides a monthly stipend, international travel benefits, health coverage, and various allowances to support independent research or study at Omani universities and institutions. Grantees will have access to host institutions including Sultan Qaboos University, Modern College of Business and Science, and other universities across the country. While Arabic proficiency is recommended, it is not required as English is the medium of instruction at all public and private colleges and universities in Oman.
