NSF addendum

[John Unsworth]

Further to my earlier email about the NSF grant program:

>Multi-country, multi-team projects are required, and proposals to this 
>program must involve at
>least one team in the United States and one in another country. A project 
>should submit a single,
>jointly developed proposal indicating workplans of each major partner. 
>Each team is responsible
>for obtaining support for its part of the project. NSF will not support 
>the non-U.S. portion of a
>project. NSF will not support U.S. portions of a project in which the 
>non-U.S. partners fail to
>receive support from the foreign funding agencies involved. The NSF 
>proposal must contain, in
>addition to budget(s) for the U.S. team(s), information indicating the 
>level of investments and efforts
>for each foreign team. Where desirable, NSF may choose to coordinate 
>review with a foreign
>funding agency and make joint decisions.
>
>Institutions eligible to apply to the NSF supported portion of this 
>program are U.S. universities and
>U.S. non-profit research institutions. NSF support for a project will not 
>exceed five years duration
>with a maximum yearly cost of $1,000,000. NSF funding for this program 
>will vary according to
>funding availability and opportunities for co-sponsorship.

So, we need a US PI, but we also need a non-US partner with its own source 
of funding.
