The Jeff Thompson Research Award seeks to honour Professor Thompson's efforts to establish the research profile of the International Baccalaureate (IB) by providing IB practitioners, graduate students and early-career university professionals with awards to conduct research related to IB programmes.
The Graduate Women In Science (GWIS) National Fellowship Program promotes knowledge in the natural and social sciences and encourages women’s academic and professional careers in the sciences. Endowment funds, mostly generated from bequests, provide the annual income that supports scientific research conducted by GWIS fellowship winners. During the 2024-2025 funding cycle, we distributed $75,000 in research awards to nine outstanding women scientists and recognized twenty graduate students and seven early-career honorable mentions.
We are working to increase global understanding of our planet and create a community of change by advancing key insights about the world and probing some of the most pressing scientific questions of our time.
All proposed projects should be bold, innovative, and potentially transformative and have a primary focus in conservation, education, research, storytelling, or technology. Projects should also align to one of our three focus areas.
The last round of applications took place in November 2021. The programme has now closed.
Applications for research scholarships can be made directly by Postdocs or scholars with Post Doctoral Lecture Qualification. A research scholarship is usually applied for by one scholar who will work on a specific project on his own. An institutional affiliation is not necessary. The simultaneous receipt of salary or retirement pension and a research scholarship is not possible.
The funding period is generally between one and 24 months.
The grants for research projects involve, depending on the type of project, the assumption of costs for personnel, travel, materials and/or other costs.
Applicants must be actively involved in the research work underpinning the project. Project staff on research projects may only be financed by PhD or research grants. A fundamental prerequisite for a grant is that project staff conduct their own research, which is published under their name. The simultaneous receipt of salary or retirement pension and a research scholarship is not possible.
The Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies (BIAAS) and the Austrian-American Educational Commission (AAEC) / Fulbright Austria jointly established two Fulbright-Botstiber Visiting Professors of Austrian-American Studies.
A Fulbright-Botstiber award (approximately $20,000 for one academic semester) is offered annually to one Austrian scholar to be hosted by institutions in the United States, and an identical award is offered annually to one American scholar to be hosted by institutions in Austria.
