1 Office of International Science and Engineering US National Science Foundation Bonnie H. Thompson Program Manager, Europe and Eurasia Target dates: anytime Funding: $15,000 per award for up to 2 years OISE supports dissertation research conducted by graduate students at a foreign site. Students are expected to work in close cooperation with a host country institution and investigator. The applicant is responsible for making all necessary arrangements with the host country institution and scientist. The doctoral faculty advisor, on behalf of the student, submits the dissertation enhancement proposal. Eligible students should be U.S. citizens or permanent residents enrolled in Ph.D. programs at U.S. institutions who have advanced to candidacy before the submission date. Students from developing countries who are enrolled in Ph.D. programs at U.S. institutions may also apply, but preference is given to qualified U.S. applicants. Before applying, applicants should investigate the dissertation enhancement programs that NSF supports in several disciplines; many of these programs allow for greater budget flexibility when there is an international dimension to the project. Proposals cannot be submitted for simultaneous review to both a research directorate and OISE for the same dissertation project. Doctoral Dissertation Enhancement Projects (DDEP)

2 Office of International Science and Engineering US National Science Foundation Target dates: Sept 15, Feb 15 Funding: $50,000 per year for 3 years “IRES provides funds for a three-year summer program that you may design for US graduate students to be held abroad at a Nordic site annually. Your Nordic counterparts would have to cover their students' costs, but the IRES would allow you to recruit best/brightest US types for a summer program abroad, covering their travel + living expenses and providing stipends. Of course the PI's travel costs are covered too.” International Research Experience for Students (IRES) Partnerships for International Science and Engineering (PIRE) Target dates: not yet announced Funding: $500,000 for 5 years This requires international research partners and may engage multiple institutions in the US and multiple countries (and institutions). Must have really top quality research, competitive, and focus that is best done with international experts/institutions due to the strengths the team has altogether. Requires an education/training component that must be well integrated with the research. Could work nicely for your US-Nordic network. The International Office usually sees huge demand for PIRE support. Therefore, we require preliminary proposals first.

3 Applying for funding via sciences divisions US National Science Foundation Sara Ruth, UCAR & Lower Atmospheric Facilities Oversight Section, ATM Eric Hintsa, ATM Target dates: anytime “…you would be free to pursue any of the usual NSF routes, and provided they complied with the NSF guidelines on allowable expenses, we would be prepared to consider any fully-justified costs for US researchers associated with overseas collaborations (but the overseas partners would need to find funding for their own expenses).” “We can generally pay for foreign scientists on U.S. soil (travel expenses, etc.) and v.v. but it is not easy. Can't pay salaries or equipment. Well, maybe we can't.”

4 European Funding Pathways European Science Foundation –Small workshop grants available Inter-America Institute fpr Global Change Research (IAI) –http://www.iai.int/http://www.iai.int/ Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN) –http://www.apn.gr.jp/en/indexe.htmlhttp://www.apn.gr.jp/en/indexe.html START –http://www.start.org/

5 Other thoughts NSF International Research and Education: Planning Visits and Workshops ( on the order of $10k) NSF SGIR grants –Small, timely research grants –$50k –Example: Gannet et al., beetle kill impact on BVOC emissions in Steamboat Springs, CO EPA Workshop Call NCAR Visitor Funding Office of Naval Research –Look at student activities and training
