About This Opportunity

The Fulbright Romania Open Study/Research Award supports well-qualified U.S. candidates at all degree levels to conduct independent research projects at Romanian universities and research centers. Proposals are welcome in all disciplines, with research projects expected to address subjects relevant to both Romania and the United States, contributing to educational and cultural relations between the two countries. The grant provides nine months of funding, from October through June, coinciding with the Romanian academic year. Grantees are encouraged to establish affiliations with Romanian universities, research centers, NGOs, museums, and academic or cultural institutions. The program offers a rewarding experience blending academic engagement with cultural immersion in a country that values thoughtful exchange, historical richness, and genuine hospitality. Grantees benefit from orientation sessions, group meetings, and personalized guidance from the Romanian-U.S. Fulbright Commission throughout their grant period.
