The peer review process—a hallmark of the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program—ensures that applications are evaluated according to rigorous academic, scholarly, and professional standards. The Institute of International Education (IIE) coordinates this process, including the assignment of applications to peer review committees. Applications recommended during peer review are subsequently considered by the host country, the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
This session offers an opportunity to learn about the peer review process and to gain insight into how applications are evaluated. Participants will also meet Ohio State faculty members who are Fulbright alumni and have served on the national peer review committee for the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program.
