Award Amount: Varies. Average award size is $4,000,000 over 5 years
Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE) is an NSF-wide program that supports international activities across all NSF supported disciplines. The primary goal of PIRE is to support high quality projects in which advances in research and education could not occur without international collaboration. The PIRE Program supports four objectives: 1. Support excellence in science and engineering research and education through international collaboration. 2. Promote opportunities where international collaboration can provide unique advantages of scope, scale, flexibility, expertise, facilities, or access to phenomena, enabling advances that could not occur otherwise. 3. Engage and share resources and research infrastructure within and across institutions to build strong international partnerships. 4. Create and promote opportunities for students and early career researchers to participate in substantive international research experiences.
The project theme may involve any area of science and engineering research that is supported by the NSF. PIRE projects may vary in size and exhibit diverse forms of organization, collaboration, and operation suited to their individual needs. PIRE projects must include collaboration with foreign research partners and international research experiences for students to promote a diverse internationally competitive science and engineering workforce.
