We have completed the selection process for the Fulbright Junior Research Award 2025-26 and we are pleased to present the list of candidates nominated to receive this grant.
The Fulbright Junior Research Award provides doctoral candidates with an opportunity to conduct their own research project related to the field of their dissertation at a host institution in the United States. Awards, offered for 4 to 10 months, are granted to persons preparing their doctoral dissertations in Polish institutions of higher education.
This year’s call for applications closed on September 6, 2024. We received 54 applications. The grant application procedure included a substantive evaluation of the proposed projects by three independent experts and an interview with selected candidates whose applications received the highest number of points. As a result, eight people were nominated to receive the Junior Research Award, one person was nominated to receive the Fulbright Research Award at Stanford University School of Medicine, and three people were placed on an alternate list.
Below is the list of grantees approved by the U.S. Department of State.
