The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Danish Council for Strategic Research (DCSR) announce a new call for proposals of colaborative research under the cooperation agreement signed by the institutions.
The call is open to researchers from universities, research institutions and private companies in the State of São Paulo, Brazil and Denmark within the food science area.
The proposals must be prepared jointly by Brazilian and Danish researchers. In the State of São Paulo, eligible applicants are researchers who comply with the Thematic or the Regular Research Awards eligibility criteria. In Denmark, the call is open for any Danish proposers who comply with the DCSR criteria for eligibility.
For both regions, it is of major importance to provide solutions within the field of food science in order to accommodate to the challenges related to “Bio-refinery" and/or “Food and Health”.
FAPESP and the DCSR expect to jointly fund maximum four projects with a total amount of around US$ 4 million for all projects. Requested funding may cover research and travel expenses (for example, payroll expenses, research training, equipment, travel costs, living allowances and insurance costs) according to each institution’s guidelines.
The duration of the proposed research projects in this call for proposals may be up to 48 months. Researchers from the State of São Paulo must send a pre-proposal, in English, by March 14th, 2014.
