International Collaboration & OISE Cofunding

In addition to the solicitations listed below, investigators may also include international components in new proposals submitted to any relevant NSF program, or request supplemental funding for projects already supported by NSF.  Investigators should consult early in the application process with both the disciplinary program manager and OISE country program manager.  OISE works with all NSF areas to co-fund new awards and supplements that meet these criteria:

  • True intellectual collaboration with foreign research partner (Foreign partner's 2-pg biosketch & communication outlining project role must be included. If foreign institution will provide resources, also include an endorsement letter from the foreign institution.)
  • New international collaborations, as opposed to well-established ones;
  • Clear benefit to U.S. science/engineering community from expertise, facilities, or resources of the foreign collaborator; and
  • Active research engagement of U.S. students and junior researchers at the foreign site.

OISE does not provide support for U.S. scientists and engineers to participate in international conferences; nor does it provide support for such meetings. OISE can support workshops that immediately precede or follow a larger-scale conference when they add an international dimension focused on building research collaboration (see NSF Grant Proposal Guide II.D.8 & 9).
