  • 1.  Horizon2020 and NSF matching fund?

    Posted Mon February 15, 2016 13:12

    Colleagues:

    Has anyone had or heard of an instance where NSF provided salary support for a US investigator collaborating with an EU team on a project funded by Horizon2020? Happy to discuss offline, if you prefer.

    I can be reached at gai.doran@...; 1-203-432-6523.

    Thanks!

    Gai

    Dear Gai,

     

    this is probably refering to the  NSF-ERC arangement. ERC = European Research Council is a funding scheme within Horizon2020 for bottom-up research. Please check https://erc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/document/file/agreement_EC_NSF.pdf

    Let me know in case you need more information.

    Best,

    Agatha

    Hi Agatha,

    Thanks for pointing me to that resource.  I believe that program is geared towards career awards, and I see that the SAVI program isn't available right now.  I did find something else in the meantime that we are exploring, and might interest the Global Community:

    INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION SUPPORTED BY THE NSF

    Collaboration between U.S. researchers and researchers abroad can be funded in almost all new proposals to NSF or in supplements to existing NSF awards. No special solicitation is necessary, as international activities are supported throughout the NSF portfolio. However, some disciplines do maintain programs specifically designed to foster international collaboration. (Check this page for examples.) NSF typically supports the costs of the U.S. team and foreign partners are typically supported by their own funding agencies.

    Foreign researchers interested in collaborating with U.S. researchers should ask their U.S. counterpart to contact his or her NSF disciplinary program officer or the relevant OISE program officer to inquire about funding possibilities. OISE program officers work with disciplinary program officers to co-fund awards that involve international collaboration.

    For additional possibilities, check the Find Funding pages on the main NSF web site.
