U.S. Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship

External funding for dissertation research using modern foreign languages

Synopsis of the Funding Opportunity Dated October 30, 2024. This page was updated 12/4/24. The absolute deadline has been extended; however, the campus deadline remains the same to allow Graduate College and OVCR staff sufficient time to process documents.

One can propose to do research in Western Europe and/or in English only if the primary focus is from the absolute priority list and the primary language is NOT English. 

The Department of Education FOA is a dense read and thus we have attempted to distill it to the essential elements below. Please factor in 2-5 days to create your Grants.gov and/or G5/G6.gov log-in.
