Fulbright Canada Research Chairs are pre-arranged affiliations to host exceptional scholars who conduct research important to that university. Partner universities are excited to welcome the Fulbright Canada Research Chairs into campus life and encourage them to engage with students and faculty, and the broader community.

You can conduct your own research, work collaboratively with new colleagues, guest lecture at university courses, mentor students, lecture in public venues, network, and promote your research while representing the Fulbright program, and your home and host institutions. These Fulbright Awards provide 40+ opportunities for grants to U.S. faculty and experienced professionals in a wide variety of academic and professional fields.

The Fulbright Canada Research Chairs are organized by discipline. Within each discipline are a number of institutions that host specific Chairs. Click the following links for more information on the Chairs available in these disciplines.
