| International Collaboration |
|
The SBE directorate encourages collaboration between U.S. scientists working on common projects with scientists from other countries. A particularly useful mechanism for pursuing collaborative research is through parallel review and parallel funding. Under this mechanism, the U.S. collaborator submits a description of the work and a budget for the U.S. activities to the NSF, while the partner submits a parallel or even identical proposal to his/her funding agency along with a budget for the collaborative activities. Under such circumstances, the NSF proposal undergoes the usual review process as does the non-NSF proposal. This can be a win-win situation, because each funder is getting more net research for their partial support of the overall project. The SBE directorate currently has a collaborative funding opportunity agreement with the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) of the UK. If you are interested in learning more about this, please review the AHRC-NSF/SBE Memorandum of Understanding at: http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/SBE_AHRC_MOU.pdf. |

The International Polar Year (IPY) extends through March 2009. The IPY period commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the 1957 International Geophysical Year (IGY) but for the first time specifically seeks to address fundamental questions about social and behavioral systems in the extreme environments of the polar regions. |
