Fulbright Arctic Initiative Award

The Fulbright Arctic Initiative creates a network to stimulate international scientific collaboration on Arctic issues while increasing mutual understanding among the people of the Arctic Council member states. Using an interdisciplinary, collaborative model to translate theory into practice, program participants will spend 18 months engaged in addressing public policy research questions relevant to Arctic nations' shared challenges. Approximately 19 outstanding scholars (at least 4 from the U.S. and at least 1 from each of the other seven Arctic Council member states) will be selected to participate in the program as Fulbright Arctic Initiative Scholars through an open, merit-based competition.

Academic researchers in the physical, natural, social, and health sciences, Indigenous and local knowledge holders, professionals in the fine arts and liberal arts as well as practitioners working in various disciplines are encouraged to apply.
