Comments: Preference is given to candidates who have had limited or no prior experience in Israel. The Fulbright Commission in Israel will assist interested candidates without direct contacts in contacting suitable host institutions. Candidates should take into account that, according to United States-Israel Educational Foundation policy, host institutions are obliged to make a financial contribution towards the funding of the grants awarded to visiting Fellows. The matter of this mandatory contribution should be raised in preliminary discussions with potential hosts, prior to the issuance of a letter of invitation. A formal hosting commitment must be received by United States-Israel Educational Foundation from an eligible institution no later than January 2009, when the Foundation will make its final decisions regarding the choice of the candidate to whom the Distinguished Chair fellowship will be offered.
