Limited Submission Announcement

The Branch for the Study of the United States, Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, invites proposal submissions for the FY-2010 Study of the United States Institutes for Scholars. Proposals are sought for the design and implementation of three Study of the United States Institutes to take place over the course of six weeks beginning in June 2010. These Institutes should provide a multinational group of experienced educators with a deeper understanding of US society, culture, values, and institutions.

Two of these Institutes will be for groups of 18 foreign university-level faculty, focusing on US Culture and Society, and Journalism and Media. The third Institute will be a general survey course on the study of the United States for a group of 30 foreign secondary educators. Applicants may propose to host only one Institute listed under this competition.

Because MU is limited to one application for this program, letters of intent must be submitted to the Office of Research, ltdsub@missouri.edu, no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, November 6, 2009.  Letters of intent should be limited to three pages and should include 1) a description of the proposed academic program, including educational travel, and 2) objectives of the proposed Institute.
