Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP)
Postulaciones > Call OPEN until March 26, 2026
The Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP) promotes collaboration and academic exchange between Chile and the United States. Its objective is for U.S. academics and researchers to undertake stays of 2 to 6 weeks in Chile to support the development and institutional strengthening of the host university or institution in the country.
Through this program, specialists exchange knowledge and establish partnerships that benefit participants, institutions, and communities in both the United States and Chile.
Proceso de Postulación
This program includes two application tracks:
First, U.S. academics and professionals who are not yet part of the Fulbright Specialist Roster may apply to join it HERE. Specialists are selected from this roster to participate in short-term projects abroad. Those already included in the Roster do not need to reapply.
Second, eligible institutions in Chile may submit a project request to host a Fulbright Specialist for a defined period to carry out specific academic or professional activities by applying HERE.
Once a project is approved, the program identifies and nominates appropriate specialists from the Roster to carry out the project. For additional information on the procedures and requirements for each track, please consult the program guidelines.
Actividades
Through this program, selected participants may undertake academic and research stays at Higher Education Institutions and Research Centers in Chile, where they will be able to apply their knowledge and experience across a range of activities.
U.S. academics will contribute their expertise while also learning from Chilean university practices, thereby strengthening links between institutions in Chile and the United States.
Áreas prioritarias
This call is open to all areas of the program. However, after it opens, certain specific areas may be prioritized, which will be announced in due course.
