Theyre coming from around the world. Theywill represent many different disciplines,

nationalities and cultures. And they will

address issues of global import.

Welcome to the Fulbright New Century ScholarsProgram, a forum for international, interdiscipli-

nary collaboration among the worlds outstanding

research scholars and professionals. This new

Fulbright initiative will assemble leading minds

annually for three years to address topics of

global significance.

For 2001-2002, the research focus is

Challenges of Health in a Borderless World.

Participants will develop a deeper understanding

of the social context within which societies,

nations, and the global community shape their

response to disease in a period of increased

global interdependence and rapid socio-econom-ic change. The program will be led by NCS

Distinguished Scholar Leader Ilona Kickbusch,

Director of the Division of Global Health in the

Department of Epidemiology and Public Health

at the Yale University School of Medicine.

In exploring world-wide health issues of the

new century, scholars will begin with a focus

on the new centurys broader social context:How does it contribute to shaping the public

health response to global health challenges and

disparities? What potential for innovation does

it offer to global health governance?

In particular, NCS participants will consider:

the interface between economic, political,

and social issues and various dimensions

of population health such as inequalityand poverty;

globalization and demographic transition;

changing lifestyles, cultural patterns, and

gender roles;

health promotion and access to health care;

social capital and capability development;

governance and accountability.

Challenges of Health in a Borderless World

will also explore the value base and historical

and cultural roots of global health strategies.

Scholars will address the theoretical and

interpretive frameworks that drive the global

health debate, and then investigate issues ofhegemony and alienation as seen from the

perspective of non-Western societies and

developing nations. Ultimately, New Century

Scholars hope to make a significant contribution

to strengthening public health around the globe.

In the first year of the new millenium, the

Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs

of the U.S. Department of State in concert

with the Council for International Exchangeof Scholars proudly unveiled NCSthe New

Century Scholars Program.

The third of three new initiatives designed to

build upon the strengths of the traditionalFulbright Scholar Program, NCS expands upon

the mission and outreach set in motion more

than 50 years ago by Senator J. William

Fulbright. In the aftermath of World War II, he

envisioned an international program that would

promote mutual understanding between the

people of the United States and the people of

other countries of the world.

Even Senator Fulbright could not have predicted

the success and opportunity that the Fulbright

Scholar Program would create over the next half

century. Given the demands and expectations of

the 21st century, the need for an internationalacademic foruma platform for addressing sub-

jects of global interesthas never been greater.

Approximately 30 leading scholars and profes-

sionals representing a variety of disciplines

from the U.S. and abroad have been selected to

participate in the program. Approximately one

third of the participants are U.S. scholars,the remaining two thirds are visiting scholars

from outside the U.S.

Along the lines of the traditional Fulbright

Scholar Program, NCS will offer participants aninternational exchange opportunity of two-six

months to further their research and investigate

comparative approaches by interacting with

colleagues abroad or in the U.S. In addition,

NCS will add a new dimension to the traditional

Fulbright exchange experience by providing

opportunities for participants to maintain contact

and exchange ideas about their research during

the program year. Specifically, participants willbe brought together at the programs beginning

for an in-person orientation in Bellagio, Italy,

then at midpoint via an electronic seminar and,

finally, at the end of the program year for a two-

week plenary seminar in the Washington D.C.

area under the leadership of the distinguished

New Century Scholar Leader.

Selected scholars will be expected to pursue

research activities related to the NCS research

theme throughout the program year and to

participate in all of the activities of the Program.
