Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program (CFDA 84.022A) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education that supports doctoral students who need to travel overseas to carry out full-time dissertation research. The core purpose is to strengthen modern foreign language and area studies expertise in the United States by making it possible for advanced doctoral candidates to spend an extended period conducting research in a foreign country where critical sources, field sites, archives, languages, or specialized communities are located. In other words, the program is designed to build deep, on-the-ground scholarly capacity that feeds back into U.S. higher education and national knowledge of world regions and languages.
The competition described is for FY 2015 new awards and was posted on February 27, 2015, with applications made available the same day. The deadline for transmittal of applications was April 28, 2015, and the opportunity was archived on May 28, 2015. The Department anticipated making about 90 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,011,692. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed for applicants, which means institutions are not required to contribute a set share of project costs as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is structured around institutions of higher education (IHEs), including public and state-controlled institutions as well as private institutions of higher education. A key feature of this program is that individual students do not apply directly to the Department. Instead, students prepare and submit their individual fellowship applications to their home institution, and then the IHE compiles and officially submits all eligible student applications to the Department as part of its grant submission. This makes the university the formal applicant and administrative sponsor, while the fellowship activities themselves center on the doctoral candidate and their dissertation research plan.
The fellowship focus is explicitly on modern foreign languages and area studies, and the funded activity is full-time research abroad tied to a doctoral dissertation. The notice also highlights a policy emphasis reflected in the Administration's FY 2015 budget request: continued support for individuals who intend to use their language skills in world areas considered vital to U.S. national security, and to apply those skills in fields such as government, international development, and the professions. Importantly, this emphasis does not exclude future faculty; students planning teaching careers are also described as eligible to apply to their IHE for support through this program.
Applications must be submitted electronically through the Department of Education's G5 system (www.G5.gov). The process involves both the institution and the student applicant entering information online, which is saved into a database during application development. The notice is explicit that neither the IHE nor the student may submit an application by emailing an electronic copy to the Department; submission must occur through the required electronic system.
For official requirements, applicants are directed to the Federal Register notice, which is treated as the authoritative source for details such as eligibility nuances, submission instructions, required forms and narratives, priorities, performance measures, and program contacts. For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice lists Julius Cotton (ED Grants.gov FIND Systems Admin) at 202-245-6288 and EducationGrantInquiries@ed.gov. Program-level questions are directed to Pamela J. Maimer, Ph.D., International and Foreign Language Education, U.S. Department of Education, with phone number (202) 502-7704 and the program email ddra@ed.gov.
