FAPESP call with Ohio State University will fund up to five projects for two years with the aim of encouraging mobility and collaboration.
FAPESP launches a call for proposals together with Ohio State University (OSU) to promote scientific collaborations between researchers from the state of São Paulo and the American university. This call is part of the scientific cooperation agreement between the institutions.
Projects should be developed jointly by a lead researcher from the state of São Paulo and another from Ohio State University with a focus on the following areas: Technology and society: ethics, governance, law; Data Science and Artificial Intelligence; Agriculture and the environment; New forms and sources of energy; New directions in the Humanities; Cancer and immunology.
FAPESP and the OSU will fund jointly up to USD 20,000 per project with a duration of two years. Projects will receive funding in the seedcorn funding category, which aims to promote partnerships through short-term collaboration mechanisms – including expenses for mobility, modest direct research costs, and the organization of workshops. A total of five projects will be selected.
At FAPESP, projects will be classified according to the rules and conditions of the Regular Research Grant modality. The call is open to researchers with an employment link to an Institution of Higher Education and Research in the state of São Paulo. Researchers who already have a Regular Research Grant or Thematic Project in Brazil and one in collaboration are eligible for the call.
Proposals must be written in English and submitted via SAGe by August 25.
