FY2023 Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Info Sessions

By -

Please see information below regarding information sessions for the Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Research Abroad Program. Feel free to forward to applicable doctoral students or graduate advisors.

US Department of Education
2023 Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Research Abroad Program
Since 2019, UCLA has been awarded 35 DDRA fellows.

The Fulbright-Hays DDRA Program, sponsored by the Department of Education, provides grants to fund individual doctoral students who conduct research abroad, in modern foreign languages and area studies, for periods of 6 to 12 months. Projects exclusive to Western Europe will not be considered. Eligibility is open to most fields including competitive preference points for projects with a thematic focus in the areas of STEM, computer science, public health, education, international development, political science, and economics. A modern foreign language must facilitate the project. The grant period is expected to run from January 2024 to March 2025 (students propose a project within that timeframe). Students do not need to be advanced to candidacy to apply; however, should a student be awarded, they must advance prior to activating the grant. The grant includes generous funding for legal dependents to travel with the fellow during the research period.

2023 APPLICATION

The application process typically opens in winter (February), though the timing varies. We receive no advanced notice on when the application cycle will officially open. Students must apply through the UCLA Division of Graduate Education. Refer interested students to Ross Fenimore (contact below) as soon as possible so that they will be prepared for the upcoming application cycle. 

Students with general interest are welcome to attend.
