Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 051618 003
The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program is a U.S. Department of Education discretionary grant opportunity that supports doctoral candidates who need to conduct full-time dissertation research overseas. The central aim of the program is to strengthen modern foreign language and area studies expertise in the United States by helping emerging scholars build deep, firsthand knowledge of other regions, cultures, societies, and languages through sustained research abroad. In practice, the fellowship is meant to fund immersive, academically focused dissertation work that requires being in another country to access archives, conduct fieldwork, interview participants, collect data, or otherwise engage with sources and communities that cannot be adequately studied from the United States.
This opportunity is published as a Federal Register notice, and the listing provided is explicitly described as a synopsis rather than the controlling guidance. Applicants are directed to rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the definitive rules and instructions, including eligibility details, priority areas (if any), submission requirements, performance measures, and program contact information. The notice also points applicants to the Department of Education "Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs" (published February 12, 2018, 83 FR 6003) for standardized directions on how to obtain and submit applications and how transmittal and formatting requirements work across Education Department grant competitions.
From an administrative standpoint, the grant competition is identified as ED GRANTS 051618 003, categorized as a discretionary program, and uses the grant funding instrument. The activity category is education, and it is associated with CFDA number 84.022A in the opportunity title, although the synopsis text also references CFDA 84.021A, which is a discrepancy that applicants would want to resolve by checking the official Federal Register notice and the program’s authoritative documentation. The eligible applicant organizations include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, with an additional "Others" category that requires consulting the official notice for clarification. While the fellowship directly benefits doctoral students, the structure indicated here implies that institutions of higher education typically serve as the applicants or administering entities, consistent with many federal fellowship models where the university submits or oversees the award on behalf of the student.
Key dates for this specific cycle were that applications became available on May 16, 2018, with a deadline for transmittal of applications on July 2, 2018. The listing anticipates 91 awards. An "AwardCeiling" value is shown as 0, which generally signals that a specific maximum was not captured in this summary record or may be defined elsewhere; the Federal Register notice would be the correct place to confirm allowable budgets, fellowship duration, and any cost constraints or stipend structures. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a competitive fellowship mechanism designed to expand U.S. capacity in language and area studies by enabling doctoral researchers to spend meaningful time abroad conducting dissertation research that depends on foreign-language competence and local access.Apply for ED GRANTS 051618 003
