ACTR/ACCELS
A Program of the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational
and Cultural Affairs
APPLICATION DUE DATE:  17:00, December 6, 2002
The JFDP is a non-degree, professional development program intended to
provide opportunities for junior university faculty with great potential as
scholars and instructors in their disciplines to:
� develop new courses and implement curriculum reform at their home
institutions;
� cultivate teaching skills and techniques derived from exposure to U.S.
educational methods;
� expand the information base in their fields of study, and;
� become a vehicle for on-going contact and exchange between home and host
institutions.
The competition is open to citizens of Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine
and Uzbekistan.  Faculty must currently teach at a higher educational
institution in their home country, have a mastery of the English language,
possess a university degree, and have two years of teaching experience in an
institution of higher education.  Applicants in the fields of Arts
Management and Library and Archival Science need a university degree, two
years of work experience in that field, and must currently teach at an
educational institution.
For the 2003-2004 academic year, JFDP Fellows will undertake a nine-month,
non-degree program.  Program activities include observing courses,
developing curricula, gathering resource materials, attending conferences,
collaborating with U.S. colleagues, giving presentations and possibly
co-teaching.  After the academic year, Fellows complete a two-month summer
practicum.  Fellows are placed at U.S. host institutions that have
facilities and faculty appropriate for their field of study.  JFDP Fellows
receive round-trip international and domestic transportation, medical
insurance, monthly stipends, and a professional development fund.  Since the
JFDP is a non-degree program, Fellows are not required or permitted to
receive transcripts, degrees, grades or credit.
