FAPESP and CALDO announce result of call for proposals
Ten projects for the exchange of researchers between the State of São Paulo and Canada were selected
The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and The Consortium of Alberta, Laval, Dalhousie and Ottawa Universities (CALDO), Canada, make public the result of a public call for proposals for the support of research projects involving the exchange of researchers under the scientific cooperation agreement between the institutions.
Ten proposals were selected, in several fields of knowledge. The maximum duration of each project is 24 months, non-extendable.
FAPESP will provide funding of up to the equivalent of Ca$12,500, in Brazilian money (Real $), per two-year project and CALDO institutions will provide funding of up to Ca$12,500 per two-year project, for the period established in the award, to cover mobility expenses and other research-related expenses.
