American
Overseas Research Centers foster international scholarly exchange,
primarily through sponsorship of fellowship programs which allow
pre-doctoral and senior scholars to pursue independent research important
to the increase of knowledge and to our understanding of foreign
cultures.
These non-governmental institutions are seen by
their host countries as the official arm of American higher learning.
The private structure of the centers and the unbiased research they
promote make them respected foci of American academia in the countries
in which they operate. |
