Chateaubriand Fellowship Doctoral Research Program in France supports U.S. Ph.D. students who are interested in conducting part of their research in France. Funded by the Embassy of France in Washington, D.C., the Chateaubriand Fellowship facilitates 4-9 month research opportunities and covers travel expenses, living expenses and health insurance during the research period. Please note, this is not a UC Irvine managed program. UCI requires all students participating in international activities to register their travel, enroll in UC Travel Insurance, and complete a risk self-assessment related to international travel and activities to be in compliance with the UCI Policy for Student International Activities. For questions, contact Chateaubriand STEM Fellowship Program Manager, Richard Burke at assistant.dc@ambascience-usa.org. More information also is available on the Chateaubriand Fellowship Program website.
