The new ACMS Visiting Scholar Program provides funding support for 3-12 week short-term visits by Mongolian scholars to US universities and academic research centers to work with US based counterparts on collaborative  projects and public outreach activities. The Program is supported by the US State Department Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau (ECA), and is intended to build ties between Mongolian and US scholars and to increase understanding about Mongolia in the United States. Project proposals in all academic fields are eligible. Applications for the program must be submitted by a US host institution representative on behalf of an invited Mongolian scholar. Visits to the US must begin between September 1 and December 31, 2011 
and up to four awards will be made. This program is intended to fund non-degree, scholarly exchange activities.  Applications are due by April 1, 2011 and must be submitted by individuals affiliated with US universities or academic research institutes authorized to sponsor Exchange Visitors on J-1 visas.
