Award Description:
Up to $1,500,000 will be available annually for funding under this program. Fifty awards are anticipated annually.
Eligibility Description:
Scientists, engineers and educators usually initiate proposals that are officially submitted by their employing organization. Before formal submission, the proposal may be discussed with appropriate NSF program staff. Graduate students are not encouraged to submit research proposals, but should arrange to serve as research assistants to faculty members. Some NSF divisions accept proposals for Doctoral Dissertation Research Grants when submitted by a faculty member on behalf of the graduate student. The Foundation also provides support specifically for women and minority scientists and engineers, scientists and engineers with disabilities, and faculty at primarily undergraduate academic institutions.

Summary:
Grants from the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) contribute to NSF's mission by supporting highly meritorious research and education activities that present unique opportunities and offer potentially high benefits because of the vital and integral nature of the foreign collaboration. OISE support is intended to both advance the research and develop a cadre of scientists and engineers who will play a leadership role in forging international collaborations of great value to the nation. Success of a proposed project depends on a significant and unique contribution from the international partnership. OISE awards promote new partnerships between U.S. scientists and engineers and their foreign colleagues, or new cooperative projects between established collaborators. Activities can be in any field of science and engineering research and education supported by NSF. Encouraging and supporting the participation of students, recent Ph.D.'s, junior faculty members, women, and minority and disabled scientists and engineers is an OISE priority. International Planning Visit/Workshop Awards can support the initial phases of developing and coordinating integrated research and education activities with foreign partners. Support is primarily for travel and subsistence expenses; salaries and stipends are not typically supported. Individual proposals can be submitted for: (1) Planning visits to assess foreign facilities, equipment, or subjects of research, and to have detailed discussions with prospective foreign partners to finalize plans for cooperative research. Visits typically range from 7-14 days. (2) Joint workshops designed to identify common research priorities, focused on a specific, well-defined area of research collaboration. U.S. and international co-organizers collaboratively design the agenda around a disciplinary or inter-disciplinary theme, and invite individuals who will uniquely contribute to the workshop’s objectives. Workshops may be held at either a U.S. or foreign location. If held at a foreign location, organizers are encouraged to arrange visits to local research and education sites. Workshop results should include recommendations to the research community about possible areas for future collaboration and should be broadly disseminated. The pool of U.S. participants should include junior researchers, women and members of underrepresented groups, and, where appropriate, graduate and/or undergraduate students. Participant diversity will be considered in making award decisions for support of workshops. OISE does not provide support for U.S. scientists and engineers to participate in international conferences or congresses; nor does it provide support for such meetings. OISE can support workshops that may immediately precede or follow a larger-scale conference when they add an international dimension that is focused on building research collaboration. It is expected that most Planning Visit/Workshop Award grantees will subsequently apply to disciplinary programs across the National Science Foundation for support of the resulting collaborative research. The purpose and objectives of this program are very specific in nature. Please refer to the official guidance for more details.
