International Research and Education: Planning Visits and Workshops  NSF Wide Programs

Support for International Conferences

OISE does not provide support for U.S. scientists and engineers to participate in international conferences or congresses; nor does it provide support for such meetings. OISE can support workshops that may immediately precede or follow a larger-scale conference when they add an international dimension that is focused on building research collaboration.  See NSF Grant Proposal Guide sections II.D.8 & II.D.9 and the OISE Planning Visit/Workshop solicitation available from the Program Guidelines section below. 

CONTACTS

The OISE geographic region/country program manager regarding proposal development, appropriate funding levels and supplement opportunities. Contacts for cognizant program manager(s) are available from the OISE Staff by Country page.

As specified in the ACA, each proposal that requests funding to support postdoctoral researchers must include a description of the mentoring activities that will be provided for such individuals.
