International Planning Visits and Workshops | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Science Foundation (NSF) grant opportunity titled "International Planning Visits and Workshops" (Funding Opportunity Number 04-035; NSF Publication 04-35) supports the very early, planning-stage work needed to build and coordinate research and education collaborations with partners outside the United States. The purpose is not to fund a full research project right away, but to help investigators and teams take the essential first steps that make a serious international collaboration possible, such as planning visits, coordination meetings, and structured workshops with foreign counterparts. These awards are meant to reduce the practical and logistical barriers that often prevent promising cross-border ideas from developing into well-organized, competitive research and education activities.

This opportunity is offered as a discretionary grant program under the NSF funding activity category of Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with the CFDA number 47.075 (Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences). NSF anticipated making around 50 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants generally are not expected to provide a formal cost-share contribution as a condition of receiving an award.

A notable feature of this solicitation is its timing and submission flexibility. While an original closing date is listed as September 20, 2004, the current closing date indicates that full proposals are accepted anytime for planning visits (with the opportunity later archived on November 28, 2010). In practical terms, that wording signals a mechanism designed to accommodate planning needs as they arise, rather than forcing all applicants into a single annual deadline. Because deadlines and submission rules can vary by NSF program management decisions and archival status, applicants are expected to consult the full announcement (NSF Publication 04-35) for the most accurate instructions on due dates, submission requirements, and any constraints related to topic areas or scope.

Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many types of applicant organizations, with the caveat that any specific limitations would be explained in the full solicitation text under additional eligibility information. The agency contact details provided are primarily web-support oriented: applicants having trouble accessing or linking to the full announcement are directed to the NSF Webmaster, reflecting that the detailed program guidance is contained in the full electronic announcement.

In short, this NSF solicitation is designed as seed support for international collaboration building: it helps researchers and educators organize planning visits and workshops that align goals, define joint activities, and establish the partnerships and coordination needed before pursuing larger, full-scale international research and education efforts.
