CAORC offers two fellowship programs. The Multi-Country Research Fellowship supports transnational research in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences for scholars with a PhD or terminal degree as well as doctoral candidates who are 'all but dissertation'. The CAORC-NEH Research Fellowship supports advanced research in the humanities in one country with a participating Overseas Research Center as a base for scholars with a PhD or terminal degree.

CAORC recognizes the immediate and growing need for faculty and administrators at U.S. community colleges and minority-serving institutions to provide a global perspective to their students. CAORC offers fully-funded overseas seminars that allow these educators to gain the requisite first-hand experience needed to develop and improve international teaching at their institutions.

Each Overseas Research Center offers fellowships, grants, and language and cultural programs specific to its region. You can browse our summary list to learn about opportunities in your region of interest. This is a reference list, not a complete list, so it is best to visit the site of the ORC/s you are interested in to view their opportunities in full. Several of the ORC grant programs use the online application portal SM Apply.
