PROPOSAL DEADLINE: DECEMBER 4, 2012, 11:59 PM (U.S. EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
Funding: Up to $110,000 per year for up to three years.
"The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the National Sciences Foundation (NSF) are working together to support the second cycle of Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) Science. PEER Science is a competitive grants program that invites scientists in developing countries to apply for funds to support research and capacity-building activities on topics of importance to USAID and conducted in partnership with their NSF-funded collaborators.
Indonesia: PEER Science is seeking research projects that support the goals and objectives of USAID/Indonesia as outlined in the mission’s Country Strategy (http://indonesia.usaid.gov/en/home). Projects should also contribute to USAID/Indonesia’s higher education objectives by achieving one or more of the following:
1. Improved instructional delivery through better teaching methods and more relevant curricula in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) field;
2. Enhanced research skills and methods in a STEM field; and
3. New and/or strengthened partnerships between Indonesian and U.S.-based researchers.
USAID/Indonesia is particularly interested in projects that involve other external stakeholders such as private sector partners as well as projects that have the potential to inform government policy at the national or local level.
Budget requests should be developed commensurate with the support needed to achieve the project goals. Most projects are anticipated to run for one to three years, with release of each funding increment contingent on the project meeting annual financial and technical reporting requirements. The number of PEER Science awards is subject to the availability of funds.
Single institution awards are anticipated to range in size from $30,000 to $60,000 per year for one to three years. A few larger and more complex projects (those involving multiple institutions and/or multiple countries, with one of them serving as the lead) may receive up to $110,000 per year for up to three years. Applicants whose funding requests do not fit within these parameters are encouraged to contact PEER Science staff at the National Academies (peer@nas.edu) before preparing their proposals. When preparing their PEER Science proposal budgets, applicants should keep in mind that requested funds may be used only to support costs for developing country researchers and institutions.
