Purpose:
The purpose of the Department of Education’s Fulbright-Hays Group Projects
Abroad (GPA) program is to promote, improve, and develop modern foreign
languages and area studies at varying levels of education. The program provides
opportunities for faculty, teachers, and undergraduate and graduate students to
conduct individual and group projects overseas to carry out research and study
in the fields of modern foreign languages and area studies. This competition
will support both Fulbright-Hays GPA short-term projects and Fulbright-Hays GPA
long-term projects.
This
program has one absolute priority, and thereby requires a group project that
focuses on one or more of the following geographic regions of the world: Africa,
East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, the Western Hemisphere
(Central and South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean), Eastern and Central
Europe and Eurasia, and the Near East.
Short-Term
Projects
There
are three types of GPA short-term projects:
1. Short-term seminar projects of four to
six weeks in length designed to help integrate
international
studies into an institution's or school system's general curriculum by
focusing on a particular aspect of area study, such as the culture of an area or
country of study;
2. Curriculum development projects of four
to eight weeks in length that provide participants an opportunity to acquire
resource materials for curriculum development in modern foreign language and
area studies for use and dissemination in the United States and;
3. Group research or study projects of
three to twelve months in duration designed to give participants the opportunity
to undertake research or study in a foreign country.
Competitive
priority is also given to projects:

minority serving institutions, community colleges, new applicants or state
educational agencies;
2. with
substantive training in and focus on modern foreign languages other than French,

Projects

long-term projects are advanced overseas intensive language projects that may be
carried out during a full year, an academic year, a semester, a trimester, a
quarter, or a summer. GPA long-term projects are designed to take advantage of

language training and for using the language while experiencing the culture in
the foreign country. Requirements:
