Academics holding permanent positions in UoN, UoB and research groups in the State of São Paulo can initiate new or strengthen existing research collaborations (UoN)
The University of Nottingham and The University of Birmingham, UK, in association with the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) make public a new Call for Proposals (CFP) within the range of scientific cooperation between the institutions.
The call is open to academics holding permanent positions in Nottingham, academics holding permanent positions in Birmingham and researchers affiliated with Higher Education and Research Institutions in the State of São Paulo, to submit research proposals for the exchange of researchers.
In the State of São Paulo, researchers regarded as eligible to submit proposals within the scope of the call are principal investigators of ongoing research projects funded by FAPESP within the following funding lines: Regular Research Awards, Thematic Projects, Young Investigators, Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers CEPIDs/RIDCs), Public Education Research Program, Research in Public Policies, and Research Partnership for Technological Innovation (PITE). Co-Principal Investigators of ongoing Thematic Projects, CEPIDs/RIDCs and PITEs are also eligible to apply.
FAPESP, Nottingham and Birmingham awards will be up to an absolute maximum of £80,000.00 (up to £40,000.00 from FAPESP; up to £20,000.00 from Nottingham and up to £20,000.00 from Birmingham) per proposal for the period established in the award, necessarily and exclusively to cover workshop realization expenses, mobility expenses and research costs.
The proposal, in English, consists of an identical research project to be submitted to all parties involved (FAPESP and Nottingham and/or Birmingham) and the required documentation for each party. The exchange activities to be carried out by the researchers and fellows from São Paulo must be thematically related to the ongoing research project funded by FAPESP.
The closing date for submission of proposals is February 20, 2014. The maximum duration of each project is 24 months.
