PROGRAM GUIDELINES
Solicitation
09-608
As announced on May 21st, proposers must prepare and submit proposals to the National
Science Foundation (NSF) using the NSF FastLane system at
http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/.
This approach is being taken to support efficient Grants.gov operations during this busy
workload period and in response to OMB direction guidance issued March 9, 2009. NSF will
continue to post information about available funding opportunities to Grants.gov FIND and
will continue to collaborate with institutions who have invested in system-to-system
submission functionality as their preferred proposal submission method. NSF remains
committed to the long-standing goal of streamlined grants processing and plans to
provide a web services interface for those institutions that want to use their
existing grants management systems to directly submit proposals to NSF.
Please be advised that the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) includes
revised guidelines to implement the mentoring provisions of the America COMPETES Act (ACA)
(Pub. L. No. 110-69, Aug. 9, 2007.) 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. Proposals that do not comply
with this requirement will be returned without review (see the PAPP Guide Part I:
Grant Proposal Guide Chapter II for further information about the implementation of
this new requirement).

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 United Kingdom (UK) The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) The Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR; National Research Agency) of France Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) Poland Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MSHE) The Fonds National de la Recherché (FNR; National Research Fund) of Luxembourg Spain Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN; Ministry of Science and Innovation)
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 Division of Chemistry 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), the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR; National Research Agency) of France, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), Poland Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MSHE), the Fonds National de la Recherche (FNR; National Research Fund) of Luxembourg and Spain Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN; Ministry of Science and Innovation). NSF Chemistry will accept collaborative research proposals in chemistry, written in English, which establish new bilateral collaborations between US investigators and investigators from the countries listed above. 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 a high level of synergy between the collaborating investigators. Formation of new collaborations is strongly encouraged. Investigators who have been collaborators must demonstrate that the proposed project is new and represents a new research direction for the collaborative team. The program will not accept proposals for projects that 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's newly announced programs in Chemical Synthesis; Chemical Catalysis; Theory, Models and Computational Methods; Chemical Measurement and Imaging; Chemical Structure, Dynamics and Mechanisms; Macromolecular, Supramolecular and Nanochemistry; Environmental Chemical Sciences; or Chemistry of Life Process. A detailed description of these programs can be found at: http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=CHE The proposed projects must also be in areas that are supported by the participating programs in the partnering agencies. The International Collaboration in Chemistry (ICC) program aims to realize the NSF strategic goal of developing a diverse, globally-engaged, US science and engineering workforce. The program therefore requires that US applicants will allocate significant financial resources in their proposed proposal budget to ensure meaningful participation of 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.
