Purpose: To increase the participation of women in international
scientific research. WISC awards small travel grants to U.S.
scientists to plan and design new collaborations with colleagues in
Central/Eastern and Western Europe, the Newly Independent States of
the former Soviet Union, Near East, Middle East, Africa, the
Americas, Pacific, and Asia. These activities are expected to lead
to full research proposals.

and women scientists who have their Ph.D.s or equivalent research
experience are eligible to apply. Applications from male co-PIs
must be accompanied by an application from a female co-PI as part
of a U.S. research team, except as noted below for the Americas.
Ph.D. candidates are also eligible to apply, if they will be
conducting research in an established Ph.D. program in the U.S.
Government employees can only apply if they also are affiliated
with another institution eligible to receive NSF grants (e.g., an
adjunct professorship at a university).
