     CIES would like to bring to your attention the start of the 2000-2001

     your help in making these opportunities widely known. The competition
     opens March 1, with an August 1 deadline for Fulbright lecturing and
     research grants worldwide. Please see the attached announcement.

     The Fulbright Scholar Program offers opportunities in all
     disciplines and professional fields. Professionals outside academe
     participate, as do university faculty and administrators from 4-
     year colleges and universities, community colleges, and
     minority-serving institutions.

     Each year's grantees include not only scholars from academe, but
     also professionals from the business community, independent
     scholars, artists, research scientists, applied professionals in
     technical fields, government employees, journalists, lawyers, and many
     others.

     If you think this program would be of interest to your colleagues,
     please forward the attached announcement. As the competition deadline
     is August 1, it would need to be sent no later than June/early July.

     We very much appreciate your assistance.
