Policy-Relevant Research Questions

Applicants will select one of the three thematic areas below within the application. Explain how your individual research and plans for your individual exchange visit will fit into an interdisciplinary investigation in the chosen thematic group and convey your capacity and skills to work collaboratively with an interdisciplinary team. 

The questions posed below suggest the range of topics and disciplines that could be applied to address the Arctic’s shared challenges and the thematic group topics. FAI IV seeks scholars who propose innovative and creative scientific, cultural, applied, and artistic approaches to activate a diverse multidimensional framework to generate security in the Arctic. Thus, the topics and disciplines are not meant to limit or direct, but rather to stimulate the proposed research and interdisciplinary collaboration of scholars interested in the Fulbright Arctic Initiative.
