The present call for proposals encourages the participation of The State of São Paulo State, Brazil, and U.S. researchers in projects intended to enhance opportunities for collaborative activities in materials research and education.
Proposals submitted must have clear relevance to fundamental materials and condensed matter research supported by the NSF Division of Materials Research (DMR). For areas supported by DMR see www.nsf.gov/materials.
The parallel FAPESP and NSF announcements support U.S. and São Paulo, Brazil participation in activities that involve reciprocal visits by researchers and students.
NSF will accept proposals from US academic institutions addressing collaborations between researchers from the US and the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Concurrently, investigators at State of São Paulo research institutions should submit to FAPESP a request for support of their side of the collaboration.
FAPESP will accept proposals from researchers who are Principal Investigators of ongoing research projects funded by FAPESP within the following schemes: Regular Research Awards, Thematic Projects (Principal or Co-Principal Investigators), Young Investigators, or Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDC/CPID; PIs or co-PIs).
The proposal must have two Principal Investigators, one in São Paulo State and one in the U.S. who will be the central contacts for the management of the project regarding their respective agency.
FAPESP will provide the selected proposals with funds exclusively for travel (air tickets), health insurance and living allowances for researchers from the State of São Paulo working in the United States.
The Proposals, to be developed in up to two (2) years, will be independently received at FAPESP and NSF until November 14th, 2012.
