PROGRAM GUIDELINES
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies &
Procedures Guide (PAPPG), NSF 09-1, was issued on October 1, 2008
and is effective for proposals submitted on or after January 5, 2009. Please be
advised that the guidelines contained in NSF 09-1 apply to proposals submitted
in response to this funding opportunity. Proposers who opt to submit
prior to January 5th, 2009, must also follow the guidelines
contained in NSF 09-1.
One of the most significant changes to the PAPPG is
implementation of the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act.
Each proposal that requests funding to support postdoctoral researchers must
include, as a separate section within the 15-page project description, a
description of the mentoring activities that will be provided for such
individuals. Proposals that do not include a separate section on
mentoring activities within the Project Description will be returned without
review (see the PAPP Guide Part I: Grant Proposal Guide Chapter
II.C.2.d for further information).

SYNOPSIS
Partnering Foreign Agencies
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG; German Research Foundation) of Germany
The Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF; Austrian Science Fund) of Austria
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK
The National natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)
The Agence Nationale de la Recherche (National Research Agency, ANR) of France
Program Description
The National Science Foundation (NSF) seeks to enhance opportunities for collaborative activities between U.S. and foreign investigators. To realize this goal the Chemistry Division at NSF has partnered with the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG; German Research Foundation), the Fonds zur Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Forschung (FWF; Austrian Science Fund) of Austria, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the United Kingdom, the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (National Research Agency, ANR) of France. NSF Chemistry will accept collaborative research proposals in chemistry, written in English, that establish new bilateral collaborations between U.S. investigators and investigators from Germany, Austria, United Kingdom, China or France. It is envisioned that the program will be expanded to include additional partnering foreign agencies in the coming years.
The program seeks new and highly innovative 3-year collaborative projects that break new ground and demonstrate high level of synergy between the collaborating investigators. The program will not accept proposals for projects that were funded in the past or are currently funded by other funding sources. The program will also not accept proposals for projects that largely overlap or are closely related to research projects that are currently carried out in the collaborators’ laboratories. The proposed 3-year projects must be in areas that are supported by the NSF Division of Chemistry programs in Analytical and Surface Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry and Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. The program aims to realize the NSF strategic goal of developing a diverse, globally-engaged, U.S. science and engineering workforce. The program therfore requires that US applicants will allocate significant financial resourses to ensure meaningful participation of graduate students, postdoctoral research associates and junior investigators, including those from underrepresented groups, in the proposed international research collaborations through extended research visits to the collaborator's laboratory abroad. The program also encourages the development and use of cyber infrastructure to increase the level of synergy of the proposed projects.
