Overseas Faculty Development Seminars
Overseas Faculty Development Seminars (OFDS) are fully-funded short-term academic programs conducted abroad that provide faculty, administrators, and professionals with immersive, place-based learning through lectures, site visits, and engagement with local experts and institutions, supporting the integration of global perspectives into teaching and research.
FLITE: Faculty Leadership for International Training and Exchange
Faculty Leadership for International Training and Enrichment (FLITE), delivered in partnership with College of the Canyons, combines an online course, a mentor-guided project, and an overseas seminar. Participants build knowledge through guided coursework, develop a project with mentor support, and apply their learning during an international seminar featuring site visits and engagement with local experts and institutions.
Opportunities Across the AORC Network
The 26 American Overseas Research Centers (AORCs) provide opportunities to study, conduct research, build professional skills, and engage with countries and regions around the world. Programs vary by center and include fellowships and grants, language study, internships, seminars, workshops, training, and other educational and professional opportunities.
Explore the AORCs in more than 30 countries and discover the opportunities each center offers.
CAORC Fellowships
CAORC has a long history of supporting international research through its fellowship programs, including the Multi-Country Research Fellowship and the CAORC-NEH Senior Research Fellowship. These programs have enabled U.S. scholars to conduct research across countries and regions while drawing on the resources and expertise of the American Overseas Research Center network.
CAORC is not currently accepting applications for these fellowship programs due to changes in available funding. We hope to resume fellowship opportunities in the future as funding becomes available.
In the meantime, many of CAORC’s 26 American Overseas Research Centers offer their own fellowships, grants, language programs, internships, and other opportunities. We encourage prospective applicants to explore current opportunities available through the AORC network.
