Notification of intent to submit a pre-proposal is due on December 18th; Pre-proposal for internal review is due on January 2nd at noon.
Project Description: The NSF Partnerships for International Research and Education program aims to establish innovative models for international collaborative research and education; establish collaborative relationships with international groups or institutions; promote the development of a globally engaged U.S. scientific workforce; and facilitate greater student participation in international research collaboration.
Eligibility: Full proposals may be submitted only by invitation from NSF, and UW-Madison may submit only three preliminary proposals. For this reason, we will convene an ad hoc review panel to review pre-proposals internally and to select the three projects to be forwarded to NSF.
Internal Competition Application Instructions:
Notice of intent: Send an email message to gsgrants@bascom.wisc.edu by December 18th to inform us of your intention to submit a proposal. Please include the following in your email message:
