Opportunity Summary:
The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE), listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) Number 84.022A. Its central goal is to support doctoral candidates who need to conduct full-time dissertation research overseas, specifically in the fields of modern foreign languages and area studies. In practical terms, the program is meant to strengthen U.S. capacity in language expertise and deep regional knowledge by helping doctoral researchers spend extended time abroad doing the kind of on-the-ground work that cannot be replicated in the United States, such as archival research, field interviews, linguistic immersion, or region-specific data collection.
The opportunity is aimed at improving the overall quality and reach of modern foreign language and area studies in the United States. By funding dissertation research abroad, the program helps produce scholars whose work contributes to teaching, research, and broader national expertise related to world regions and languages. While the fellowship directly supports individual doctoral candidates, the application process involves institutions of higher education (IHEs) as eligible applicants, including public/state-controlled and private IHEs, with additional eligibility details referenced in the official Federal Register notice. The program description emphasizes that the Federal Register notice is the authoritative source for requirements and that applicants should rely on it for details like priorities, performance measures, and submission rules.
For this specific posting, the funding opportunity title is "Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE): Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship Program," with the funding opportunity number ED GRANTS 032216 002. The agency is listed as ED (the Department of Education). The opportunity anticipated making about 90 awards, though the award ceiling was not specified in the provided synopsis. The posting date and creation date were March 22, 2016, and the application deadline (both original and current) was May 6, 2016.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Education's G5 grants system at www.G5.gov. A key procedural point is that the application is completed within the G5 system as an online submission where both the IHE and the student applicant enter information that is saved directly into a database. The notice explicitly states that neither the institution nor the student is permitted to submit an application by emailing an electronic copy to the Department. Beyond these basics, the synopsis repeatedly directs applicants to the Federal Register application notice for the full set of instructions and rules, including pre-application and application requirements, how to submit, what performance measures apply, any competitive priorities, and program contact information.
