The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) make public an announcement for opportunity of support of research and research based training projects involving the exchange of researchers, and/or doctoral and postdoctoral fellows.
The call for proposals is issued under the scientific cooperation agreement between the institutions and also under the scope of the NSERC Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program (CREATE).
FAPESP invites interested researchers affiliated with Higher Education and Research Institutions in the State of São Paulo, who are Principal Investigators or Co-Principal Investigators (where applicable) of ongoing research projects funded by FAPESP within the following schemes: Regular Research Awards, Thematic Projects, Young Investigators, or Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (CEPIDs/RIDCs), to submit research proposals for the exchange of researchers, doctoral and postdoctoral fellows between the State of São Paulo and Canada.
The call is open to research proposals in all field of knowledge compatible with NSERC’s CREATE program. The closing date for submission of proposals to NSERC and FAPESP is May 1st, 2013.
The activities foreseen in the selected projects must start while the researcher holds an ongoing FAPESP research grant related to the activities of this announcement. The maximum duration of each project is 48 months, non-extendable.
FAPESP will provide funding of up to CA$10,000.00 to cover travel expenses per proposal, per year, and two BEPE fellowships (“Research Internship Abroad” for PhD students or Postdoctoral fellows under the supervision of the proponent researcher) per year, for the period established in the award.
Canadian CREATE Award holders are expected to use their existing CREATE grant funds to support the Canadian side of the collaboration including for travel, health insurance and living allowances for student and fellows.
