Comments: The border designation of this award refers to geography as well as focus: the goal of the Fulbright Border Program is to enhance linkages and collaborative work between U.S. and Mexican institutions and scholars in the border regions. Grantees maintain their U.S. residence and travel into Mexico periodically to engage in research, teaching, or both. At least 8 work days per month should be spent in Mexico. Applications in any discipline relevant to U.S.-Mexico border relations will be considered. Academic-year grants are preferred. Start dates must correspond to the academic calendar.
