Seamless Transitions
Extended Impact
The Talent Gap
The J-1 Research Scholar Visa Program has traditionally been limited to universities. However, compliance requirements, paperwork, and eligibility reviews consume time, making it difficult for private industry to become designated sponsors.
Without clear pathways, scholars may miss out on opportunities to extend research or move into private-sector roles. Cultural Vistas bridges this gap, making the process simpler for universities and scholars alike.
How We Help
Cultural Vistas simplifies the process of sponsoring J-1 Research Scholars, providing expert support from eligibility reviews to compliance management, allowing universities to focus on scholar success.
Our tailored approach empowers advisors and principal investigators (PIs) to help scholars extend contributions, explore opportunities, and drive innovation through the U.S. Department of State’s STEM Research Initiative.
