US - Indonesia Research: $110 thousand per year for 3 years

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.
