The Faculty Development Fellowship is a nondegree program that encourages faculty to generate innovative approaches to curricular and pedagogical reform, to develop and introduce new content in university courses, to raise the quality and instruction in higher education in the region, and to build and sustain local and international academia networks.
Faculty Development Fellowships are offered to faculty in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Each year for up to three years, participants spend one semester at a U.S. university and one semester teaching at their home universities.
Faculty fellows design new courses, present conference papers, complete articles and books, expand research topics, and develop new teaching materials.
This scholarship is no longer accepting new applicants. For those interested in faculty fellowships, please see the Global Faculty Grant Program and the DAAD-OSI awards pages.
