Opportunity Summary:
Catalyzing New International Collaborations (NSF 13-605) was a National Science Foundation discretionary grant program designed to help U.S.-based researchers and students take concrete first steps toward building new international research partnerships. The core purpose was not to fund a large, mature research project, but to pay for targeted activities that make brand-new cross-border collaborations possible, such as exploratory exchanges, planning efforts, and early joint work that can lead to longer-term, externally funded international research programs.
The opportunity fell under NSF's broad science and technology research and development portfolio and was tied to multiple NSF program areas, reflecting that international collaboration can be relevant across essentially all disciplines NSF supports. The listed CFDA areas included Engineering (47.041), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049), Geosciences (47.050), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (47.070), Biological Sciences (47.074), Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (47.075), Education and Human Resources (47.076), the Office of International Science and Engineering (47.079), and EPSCoR (47.081). In practical terms, that meant the program was positioned as a cross-cutting mechanism for seeding collaborations in many fields, rather than being limited to a single discipline.
Funding was relatively small and meant for catalytic, early-stage collaboration building. NSF anticipated around 40 awards with an estimated total program funding level of about $2,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $10,000 up to a ceiling of $75,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to commit institutional funds as a condition of eligibility. The funding instrument type was a grant.
Eligibility was described as "unrestricted" in the sense that it was open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications in the full solicitation text. While the brief listing does not spell out specific institutional categories, NSF opportunities of this kind typically involve proposals submitted by eligible U.S. organizations on behalf of the participating researchers, with the emphasis here specifically on supporting U.S.-based participants engaging with international counterparts to initiate a new collaborative relationship.
In terms of timing, the solicitation was originally posted on September 9, 2013, with an initial full proposal target date of January 22, 2014. It then operated on a recurring set of annual target dates: January 22, April 22, July 22, and October 22. The solicitation was later archived on October 8, 2014, meaning it is no longer an active funding opportunity under that specific number, even though the underlying concept of NSF support for international collaboration may continue through other NSF programs or updated solicitations.
For reference and administrative support, the listing pointed applicants to NSF Publication 13-605 for the full announcement details and directed technical access issues to grants.gov support (grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov).
