The Visiting Fellowship must be the primary commitment of each visiting fellow during his or her stay in the United States. The topic of research must be the same topic that was proposed in the fellowship application. Fellows should not take classes, devote substantial time to other groups or organizations, or otherwise engage in activities that impede their ability to successfully complete their International Visiting Fellowship research project. Home Country. Each Visiting Fellow must return to his or her home country at the conclusion of his or her fellowship. No visa extensions are granted. Fellowship Product. Before departing at the end of the fellowship, each Visiting Fellow is expected to submit a paper that either contains or summarizes the research carried out by the Visiting Fellow in pursuit of the objectives stated in his or her fellowship application. A portion of this paper should be edited for posting on the Woodstock International Visiting Fellows website. Mid-year Report.
