Program Overview:
Except for the Study of the United States award for which junior faculty with at least 3 years of university teaching experience may apply, applicants at the rank of associate or full professor with a minimum of 5 years of university teaching experience are preferred. Applicants should not be residing in China at the time of application nor should they have had recent extended experience in China. Professionals, such as practicing attorneys, may apply only if they have the requisite amount of university teaching experience, as well as some publications. All teaching is in English. The academic year in China is divided by a month-long break in late January and early February, the specific dates depending upon the lunar calendar. Affiliations are arranged through negotiations between the Ministry of Education and the Educational Exchanges Office of the U.S. Embassy. Applicants for lecturing awards should not make direct inquiries to Chinese institutions regarding an affiliation, but they may express an institutional preference in their applications. The teaching load is a maximum of two graduate or undergraduate courses a semester with up to 8 classroom hours per week. Applicants for lecturing/research awards should be aware that their grant is primarily for teaching. Grantees in the lecturing/research category do not receive a reduced teaching load since the current teaching load of two courses per semester is the minimum expected by the Chinese host institutions. However, many grantees still find time to pursue their research. Placements are in major universities throughout China. Applicants are encouraged to consider placements in places other than Shanghai and Beijing. Applicants for research awards are welcome to arrange their own affiliations. Lecturers will have opportunities to participate in an intracountry lecturing program as well as a regional intercountry lecturing program. All lecturers are required to attend a 2-day orientation program in Washington, DC held in late May or early June. Academic-year lecturers and one-semester lecturers starting their grants in the fall term are required to attend an orientation in Beijing in late August. Full-year and one-semester lecturers teaching in the spring term are required to attend a combination orientation and midyear professional development conference in February. Chinese host institutions in most cases provide on-campus housing for recipients of lecturing and lecturing/research grants. In keeping with the Fulbright objective of maximizing interaction with Chinese students and faculty, grantees are expected to live in the campus-provided housing.

Other Benefits:
For lecturers in the humanities and social sciences there is a book allowance of $1,500 per semester and $2,000 per semester for lecturers in law and economics. Lecturers are reimbursed up to $1000 for language study upon submission of receipts. For grants up to 7 months in length a research allowance of $1,700 is provided and for grants of 7-10 months an allowance of $2,000 is provided. The grant also covers any affiliation fees charged by Chinese host institutions up to $1,750 for grants of 5 months or less and $3,500 for grants that are 6-10 months. For lecturers, if the combined amount of the stipend and the country maintenance allowance for the grant period is less than the amount of the grantee's salary (excluding summer teaching, merit awards, consulting fees, etc.) for a comparable period (5-month grant equals one-half an academic year and 10-month grant equals the academic year regardless whether the university uses a semester or quarter system), then the grantee will receive a salary supplement stipend to bring the amount to the same level as the individual's salary for a comparable period as defined above, but the amount may not exceed $50,000 for 5-month grants or $100,000 for 10-month grants. This benefit applies ONLY to earned salary as defined above and does not include royalties or other similar types of income. The salary supplement stipend is not included in the Fulbright-Luce grants in art history. See the award description for a fuller explanation of the benefit package for the Fulbright-Luce awards.
