"If extrasolar giant gas planets are in the habitable zone around their star, and if they have moons, can they supoort complex life?"

International Collaboration
A small fund has been identified to help support travel and accommodation costs associated with collaborations between NAI Members and international colleagues in the field of astrobiology. Critical travel to non-U.S. laboratories or field sites is appropriate for this support, as are invitations to a foreign scientist to visit your institution for research related activities. It is the Director’s intent that these funds be used to encourage a visiting scholar to circulate among at least two of the NAI Lead or Co-Institutions during her/his time in the U.S., thereby increasing the degree of intellectual exchange both internationally and inter-team. You are encouraged to consult with either the Director or Deputy Director as you begin the planning process to ensure the availability of funds. Funds are limited to $5,000 per exchange.
