Opportunity Summary:
The Fulbright Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program (CFDA 84.022A) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education to support doctoral candidates who need to conduct full-time dissertation research outside the United States. Its core focus is modern foreign languages and area studies, with the broader goal of strengthening U.S. capacity and expertise in these fields by helping emerging scholars complete substantive overseas research tied directly to their dissertations.
Under this program, the formal grant applicant is an institution of higher education (IHE), not the individual student. In practice, doctoral students prepare and submit their individual fellowship materials to their university as part of the campus process, and then the IHE compiles and submits all eligible student applications to the Department of Education as part of its grant submission. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for institutions and students who do not have additional resources to contribute.
For the funding cycle described in the notice, the Department anticipated making about 142 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $14,709,000. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between $15,000 (award floor) and $60,000 (award ceiling), reflecting differences in project scope, location, and the practical costs of conducting research abroad. The activity category is Education, and the funding instrument type is a Grant.
The application process is electronic and handled through the Department of Educations e-Grants system using e-Application, accessible at http://e-grants.ed.gov. For technical help with submission, the e-Grants help desk number listed is 1-888-336-8930. For this specific posting, applications were made available on October 5, 2009, and the deadline for transmittal of applications was December 1, 2009, with the record later archived on December 31, 2009. While those dates relate to the particular competition year referenced, they illustrate the typical structure of a federal competition: a posted notice, a defined application window, and a firm closing deadline.
The notice emphasizes that the short description provided is only a synopsis, and that the controlling and complete requirements, definitions, and conditions are contained in the official Federal Register application notice. Applicants are directed to consult the Federal Register for the definitive version, with access historically provided through GPO resources. Contact points included Julius C. Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND System Administrator) for issues accessing the full announcement electronically, and Amy Wilson (Program Manager, International Education Programs Service) for programmatic questions.
