SUMARY
Up to fifteen lecturing/research awards.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW The aim of the program is to enhance research efforts in a wide range of scientific disciplines; strengthen lecture quality and diversity; and increase academic exchange opportunities between Chilean and U.S. universities.
Academic semesters are from March to July and August to December. Awards are rarely made during the January-February period unless justified by the nature of the project and prearranged with Fulbright Chile. Preference is for candidates with senior status (5 years of experience following terminal degree) and graduate level teaching experience, but junior scholars as well as professional candidates with compelling proposals will also be considered. For all awards, applicants should secure an expression of interest from a Chilean host institution. The Fulbright Commission in Chile can assist with final confirmation of affiliations. Grant length is flexible within a range of 3 to 5 months.
Commission contact is Program Director Karina Sapunar, karinasapunar@fulbright.cl

This award supports a priority for the Chilean educational system: improving the teaching of English at all levels of the educational system. The Ministry of Education has initiated a program, calling for all Chilean elementary and high school students to be able to pass a standardized English listening and reading test in a decade, with a more ambitious long-term goal to make all of Chile’s people fluent in English within a generation.
