Hi everyone. I'm a semi-finalist for a Fulbright Scholar postdoc in Canada. It seems that the roles at the State Department who are in charge of the Fulbright program - the Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs and the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy - are currently-unfilled appointee positions. Does anyone have a read on how this is going to impact the Fulbright program? From what I can tell the role of ECA assistant secretary seems to have a temporary person in it, but I'm wondering how all this gets done with such a barebones staff at State.
