The Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad Program is administered by the Office of Post Secondary Education of the U. S. Department of Education. The Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad Program provides grants to colleges and universities to fund faculty to maintain and improve their area studies and foreign language skills by conducting research in other countries for periods of three to 12 months (projects focusing on Western Europe are not supported). Grants provide travel expenses, a maintenance allowance (based on academic year salary), and a project allowance (for research related expenses such as books, copying, tuition).

The Fulbright-Hays program holds annual competitions. The FY 2008 competition is closed.
