NSF-DFG Lead Agency Opportunity in Chemistry and Chemical Process and Transport Systems

The National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on research cooperation. The goal of this Lead Agency Opportunity is to reduce barriers to working internationally by allowing US and German researchers to submit a single collaborative proposal that will undergo a single review process while funding organizations maintain budgetary control over their awards. • Proposals eligible for funding consideration should review the CHE, CBET, PC, and ING 1 program descriptions for research supported through these divisions/organizations. • Proposals are expected to adhere to typical proposal budgets and durations for the relevant CHE, CBET, PC, and ING 1 programs from which funding is sought. • A list of participating NSF programs can be found at: https://www.nsf.gov/od/oise/IntlCollaborations/Germany.jsp. • German researchers are invited to read: www.dfg.de/nsf-che-cbet.
