EVALUATION PROCEDURE:

Selection Steps:

• applications are pre-screened;
• the assessment of the projects is performed by Fulbright alumni and leading Romanian and U.S. scholars in the respective fields of knowledge;
• the applicants recommended by reviewers will be invited to an interview carried out by a bi-national panel, in the first half of January;

The assessment of the Fulbright applications is organized in two stages, aimed at encompassing two different aspects. These distinct approaches contribute to defining a comprehensive image of the applicant’s performance during the entire competition, in accordance with the aim and mission of the Fulbright program and the expected results after return.

First Phase:
The Screening Process: applicants are evaluated by 2 specialists in their respective field. The evaluation of the professional level of the applicant’s proposal is based on the following criteria: significance of the proposed theme to the field; importance of the project to the home country; clarity of the proposal; academic credentials; evidence that research in the U.S. is necessary to accomplish the project; feasibility of project in terms of available time and resources; plans to disseminate research findings in Romania;
