Fulbright Program Announcement: 2012-13 Fulbright NEXUS Regional
Program for the Western Hemisphere
The Fulbright Regional Network for Applied Research (NEXUS) Program
will bring together a network of junior scholars, professionals and
mid-career applied researchers from the United States and other
Western Hemisphere nations for series of three seminar meetings and a
Fulbright exchange experience. Scholars will spend up to one year
engaged in collaborative thinking, analysis, problem-solving and
multi-disciplinary research in one of three inter-related topics of
regional significance: Science, Technology and Innovation,
Entrepreneurship and Sustainable energy.
Projects focusing on climate change adaptation strategies, and/or
public policy focused research ventures that examine strategies to
cope with climate variability, including extreme events, are
particularly welcome.
Fulbright NEXUS Scholars will conduct individual and team-based
research projects, integrating perspectives from multisectoral
stakeholders, to generate knowledge-based, policy-oriented solutions
and implementation models at the national and regional levels.
CIES will host a webinar to talk about the NEXUS Program on Tuesday,
February 7, 2012 at 2:00 pm EST. CIES staff and current Fulbright
NEXUS grantee, Ruth Browne, will provide an overview of the program
and answers any questions you may have. To register, please
