My name is Jeremy Coats and I am the Program Officer for Diaspora Programs at the Institute of
International Education (IIE). I am writing to ask for your advice and assistance in publicizing our exciting
scholar exchange programs: the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP) and the Greek
Diaspora Fellowship Program (GDFP). We would appreciate your help reaching eligible scholars for these
opportunities. Below, I have provided a little background for each fellowship program:
Carnegie African Diaspora Program (CADFP)
The CADFP offers short-term fellowships to African-born academics residing in the United States and
Canada. Selected Fellows collaborate with African universities on projects of 14-90 days in the areas of
curriculum co-development, graduate student teaching/mentoring and research. Projects are completed
in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda. Scholars who meet all eligibility
requirements can sign up to be on the roster of qualified academics. Scholar applications are accepted
on a rolling basis, but the next cutoff date for application review is December 8, 2016. To learn more,
please visit our program website (www.iie.org/africandiaspora) and/or contact program staff at
[email protected].
Greek Diaspora Fellowship Program (GDFP)
Similar to the CADFP, the GDFP is a short-term faculty exchange program for Greek-born academics
residing in the United States and Canada. Fellows have the opportunity to engage with Greek
universities for one project visit of 14-60 days. Activities for this program are curriculum codevelopment, graduate student teaching/mentoring and research. Applications from program hosts are
currently being accepted. We are always accepting scholar applications to our roster of qualified
academics, but the cutoff for review ends on September 1, 2016. To learn more, please visit our
program website (www.iie.org/greekdiaspora) and/or contact program staff at [email protected].
We hope that you will share the CADFP and GDFP award opportunities with eligible African- and
Greek-born colleagues, faculty and administrators, as well as any African- or Greek- studies programs
and/or organizations that your institution hosts.
Please let me know if you have any questions about these fellowship competitions, and we thank you
for your cooperation,
Kind regards,
Jeremy
