programs offer U.S. scholars and professionals the opportunity to

Researchers are able to increase their understanding of current
regional issues, develop and sustain international networks, and

conducting research on topics vital to the academic and policymaking
communities. Fellowships provide international airfare, a
living/housing stipend, visa support, emergency evacuation insurance,
logistical support and, in many countries, field office support.
