The National Science Foundation announces the Partnerships for
International Research Education program (PIRE; program solicitation
NSF 09-505).
Program Synopsis:
The Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) program
seeks to catalyze a higher level of international engagement in the U.S.
science and engineering community by supporting innovative,
international research and education collaborations. The program will
enable U.S. scientists and engineers to establish collaborative
relationships with international colleagues in order to advance new
knowledge and discoveries at the frontiers of science and engineering
and to promote the development of a diverse, globally-engaged U.S.
scientific and engineering workforce. International partnerships are,
and will be, increasingly indispensable in addressing many critical
science and engineering problems. As science and engineering discoveries
result more and more from international collaboration, U.S. researchers
and educators must be able to operate effectively in teams comprised of
partners from different nations and cultural backgrounds.
The PIRE program will support bold, forward-looking research whose
successful outcome results from all partners - U.S. and foreign - providing
unique contributions to the research endeavor. It is also intended to
facilitate greater student preparation for and participation in
international research collaboration, and to contribute to the
development of a diverse, globally-engaged U.S. science and engineering
workforce. The program aims to support partnerships that will strengthen
the capacity of institutions, multi-institutional consortia, and
networks to engage in and benefit from international research and
education collaborations.
Educational Opportunity
This program provides educational opportunities for undergraduate
students, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. The program
supports institutions which may provide support to individuals at those
institutions.
