OBJECTIVES:  Researchers are required to be affiliated with a local institution of higher education in mainland China during their grant term. The local host institution should have the capacity and official permission to host foreign students and scholars. Applicants proposing projects on modern China may spend one month of a six to eight month grant or up to three months of a nine to 10 month grant at research facilities in Hong Kong or Taiwan. Applicants with projects on pre-modern China may spend comparable amounts of time in Taiwan.
Applicants who wish to work at a Hong Kong research center should contact those centers directly for assistance in setting up their visit. Applicants who wish to spend part of their grant period in Taiwan should arrange an affiliation with a Taiwan institution and secure a letter of invitation. An annual conference is held for all researchers in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong during the spring semester.  Projects may focus on either modern or pre-modern China.  Applications are sought in all appropriate disciplines, but applications in the following disciplines are preferred: Anthropology, Archaeology, Architecture, Area Studies, Art History, Economics, Film Studies, Geography, History (non-U.S.), Language and Literature (non-US), Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Public Administration, Public/Global Health, Religious Studies, Sociology, and Urban Planning.

ELIGIBILITY
Applicants must meet all of the following requirements unless specific exemptions are stated in individual country or award descriptions.  Applicants must be U.S. citizens at the time of application.  Permanent resident status is not sufficient.  Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent professional/terminal degree (including a master’s depending on the field) as appropriate at the time of application. For professionals and artists outside academe, applicants must demonstrate recognized professional standing and substantial professional accomplishments.  A candidate who has resided abroad for five or more consecutive years in a six-year year period preceding the date of application is ineligible for a grant. For the purpose of this section, a candidate who has lived outside the United States for nine months or more during a calendar year is deemed to have resided abroad for that year.  Recipients of a core Fulbright Senior Scholar award (defined as longer than two months) are eligible to receive another traditional award five years after the date of completion of the previous award.
