Dr. Gowramma I. P., Professor in RIE Bhubaneswar has been awarded the Fulbright-Nehru Academic and Professional Excellence Fellowships for the year 2022-23

About the Fellowship

The Fulbright Program is the most widely recognized and prestigious scholarships offered by the US Govt Named after Senator William Fulbright, the inception of the scholarship dates back to 1946 when the US Govt proposed a bill to use the proceedings from selling surplus war property (from the second world war) to fund international exchanges between the US and other countries.
The bill was later turned into a law by the then US President Harry S Truman. In 1950 Jawaharlal Nehru and US Ambassador to India Loy Henderson singed the “Agreement between the Govt of India and the Govt of the USA for Financing Certain Educational Exchange Programs which established the United States Educational Foundation in India (USFEI).
In 2008 an agreement was signed between the two Governments to Fund the Fulbright program as equal partners and the USFEI was renamed the United States-India Educational Foundation (USIEF) and its core program became known as the Fulbright-Nehru Fellowships. Today India boasts of the largest Fulbright Scholarships in the world and one of the largest exchanges worldwide.
In the past, 40 Fulbright Alumni have served as heads of state, 61 from 14 countries have been awarded the Nobel Prize and 89 have won Pulitzer Prizes. Over 20,000 Indian Citizens have been part of the program over the last 72 years.
The Fulbright-Nehru Academic and Professional Excellence Fellowship is one of many Fellowships offered under the Fulbright-Nehru program. It aims to provide Indian faculty, researchers and professionals the opportunity to teach, conduct research, or carry out a combination of teaching and research at a US institution. Depending on the host institution, it is likely that the grantee may contribute towards developing curriculum and conducting workshops and seminars.

About the project

Prof Gowramma’sproject on “Preparation of Culturally Responsive Curriculum Model for Early Childhood Education to Enhance Literacy Readiness Skills” will document sociocultural practices adopted in early childhood and study their influence on literacy readiness. Furthermore, it will help inform literacy initiatives in local language and English, in India, highlighting what practices in early childhood education are beneficial.
Regional Institute of Education (RIE) Bhubaneswar, being one of the five constituent units of an apex body in the country for school education, the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), caters to the eastern region of India. The results of this study will have a vast application and outreach around this region and in India through the NCERT. Her projectintends to develop a curriculum guide to integrate sociocultural practices to target oral language and literacy. This development will directly contribute to later year literacy development while incorporating the rich sociocultural practices. It will have a wide application in multilingual communities around India to foster literacy and early language acquisition while celebrating the vast cultural and linguistic diversity.

Her host institute, the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) in Florida State University, is the leader of literacy in the U. S. The research in literacy and multilingual communities by the FCRR will serve as a guide for this project. FCRR faculty will guide the project with the necessary research design and methods to evaluate these vast sociocultural practices. This project, in turn, will help the growing diversity in the U. S. and Indian schools in addressing issues related to literacy acquisition in multilingual populations that are growing. The collaboration with FCRR will help integrate the culturally relevant practices into literacy acquisition and provide a direction for India and US literacy initiatives.

During her Fellowship tenure starting from October 2022, she will be staying in Seminole Trials Apartments, 123 White Drive Unit S-01, Tallahassee, Fl. 32304 and work in Florida Centre for Reading Research.
