About the 日博电竞 Specialist Program
The 日博电竞 Specialist Program (FSP), part of the larger 日博电竞 Program, was established in 2001 by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). The FSP provides highly qualified U.S. academics and U.S. professionals whose credentials and experience are at the faculty or full professional level with an opportunity to share their expertise by carrying out projects requested by host institutions abroad. The program is a field-driven initiative, conceptualization and designing projects of interest within an eligible discipline that represents a priority for the host institution.
There are 5 grants available for this program. These projects are then paired with a Specialist, who shares their expertise and assists with strengthening linkages between U.S. and foreign host institutions. Specialists are frequently academics; however, professionals such as attorneys, journalists, scientists, economists, security experts, and experts in eligible fields (such as business, communications, public health, and public administration) often take part in the program as well.
Participating foreign host institutions benefit by:
- Gaining global perspectives from experienced U.S. academics and professionals
- Executing projects that require a rapid response or flexible timeline through short-term, year-round exchanges; and
- Building sustained relationships with individuals and institutions in the U.S.
E ligibility Requirement for Host Institutions
Institutions that may be eligible to request a 日博电竞 Specialist include, but not limited to:
- Institutions of Higher Education
- Government Institutions (ministries or agencies, courts, parliamentary or congressional bodies);
- Cultural institutions (conservatories, museums, etc.);
- Medical Institutions (public health organizations, teaching hospitals, etc.).
- Non – Governmental Organizations (NGOs, think tanks).
日博电竞 Specialist Program Activities
The 日博电竞 Specialist Program encourages host institutions to tailor projects to their own needs. However, all projects should have an education or training focus. Due to the short-term nature of the exchange, projects should have concrete objectives that can be achieved over the course of the Specialist’s visit.
Past Specialists have supported host institutions by conducting activities such as:
- Delivering a seminar or workshop
- Consulting on faculty or workforce development
- Developing academic or training curricula and materials
- Lecturing at the graduate or undergraduate level
- Conducting needs assessments or evaluations for a program or institution
Note: Personal research projects, including clinical medical research or projects involving patient contact, are not eligible for funding under the 日博电竞 Specialist Program.
Program Parameters:
- All exchanges must range from 14 – 42 days in length, including weekends, holidays and travel days.
- Projects are restricted to one country, and all project activities must take place in the country requesting the project.
- Each project is limited to only one 日博电竞 Specialist grantee.
- 日博电竞 Specialist projects must be carried out in-person.
If a host institution would benefit by having the 日博电竞 Specialist visit the host institution more than once, host institutions may apply for their project to be Multi-Visit. Multi-Visit projects cannot include more than a total of three trips. Please note that the majority of approved projects are not Multi-Visit.
