Fulbright Canada Research Chairs are intended for Canadian citizens who are exceptional scholars and/or experienced professionals who wish to conduct research and/or lecture in the United States.

Fulbright Canada Research Chairs are pre-arranged affiliations that allow scholars to conduct research/lecture on subjects important to that university. Partner universities are excited to welcome the Fulbright Canada Research Chairs into campus life and encourage them to engage with students, faculty, and the broader community. Fulbright Canada Research Chairs can guest lecture in university courses, mentor students, lecture in public venues, network, and promote their research, while representing the Fulbright program, and their home and host institutions.

The Fulbright Canada Scholar Entrepreneurship Award is designed for Canadian scholars aiming to explore the real-world application, commercialization, or broader societal impact of their work.

As part of the Fulbright Canada Entrepreneurship Initiative, this award enhances the Traditional Fulbright Canada Scholar experience by offering specialized resources and mentorship aimed at helping researchers turn ideas into action, whether through commercialization, policy innovation, or social enterprise development.

This award is ideal for academics whose work intersects with innovation, applied research, or systems-level change. It offers a unique opportunity to develop new collaborations, deepen North American impact, and contribute to entrepreneurial ecosystems in both Canada and the United States.

Fulbright Canada Traditional Scholar Awards are open to Canadian scholars in all fields and are designed to enable emerging and established scholars, post-doctoral researchers and experienced professionals to conduct research, teach, or undertake a combination of both activities for one semester or a full academic year at any university or research center of their choice in the United States.

Specialization: While the competition is open to all disciplines, Fulbright Canada is particularly interested in encouraging research on contemporary issues relevant to Canada, the United States and the relationship between the two countries. Applicants should also clearly document the need to be in residence in the United States to carry out the project.
