Fostering Global Scholarship to Drive Innovation and Excellence
The Chateaubriand exchange fellowship program facilitates scholarly exchange between French and American institutions, providing researchers with the opportunity to expand their knowledge, skills, and networks. By supporting cross-cultural collaboration, the program enables more inclusive and diverse research outcomes with far-reaching benefits for society — leading to new discoveries, research partnerships, and academic excellence.
Fueling the Future of Innovation
Resources USA Foundation Inc. recognizes the pivotal role of postdoctoral researchers in driving scientific advancements. We invest in two complementary directions: supporting French post-docs in pursuing research abroad, and enabling American young scientists to conduct studies across both French and American contexts.
We provide essential financial support to French professors and universities, enabling them to send post-doc researchers abroad. This broadens their research horizons and opens doors to cutting-edge developments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — paving the way for breakthrough discoveries that address global challenges.
Doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers gain the opportunity to conduct studies in both French and American contexts. This program nurtures a new generation of interdisciplinary researchers capable of tackling global challenges — strengthening international bonds and encouraging mutual understanding between our two nations.
