Dear Colleague:
To facilitate the support of collaborative work between US groups and their Israeli counterparts, NSF's Directorate for Social, Behavioral & Economic Sciences (SBE) and the BSF have recently signed a Letter of Intent that outlines a review process for projects in Economics and Psychology. Israeli researchers are invited to read the BSF solicitation:http://www.bsf.org.il/ElectronicSubmission/GatewayFormsAndGuidelines.aspx?PageId=7&innerTextID=0.
International collaborations are invited to submit proposals in the areas described in the following SBE programs:
Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences Core Programs:
- Social Psychology (PD 98-1332)
- Perception, Action, and Cognition (PD 09-7252)
- Cognitive Neuroscience (PD 15-1699)
- Developmental and Learning Sciences (PD 08-1698)
- Division of Social and Economic Sciences Core Programs:
- Economics (PD 98-1320)
- Decision, Risk and Management Sciences (PD 98-1321)
NOTE: Only proposals focused on Decision Science are eligible to submit to this call. Proposals on Risk and Management Science are not eligible to participate in this collaborative opportunity.
Proposals will be submitted to NSF, and the Israeli institution will submit a parallel proposal to BSF immediately afterwards. The proposals will be reviewed in competition with other proposals received for the same funding round by NSF using NSF's merit review process. It is important to note that there are no separate NSF funds available for these efforts; proposals must compete with all other proposals within the NSF program and must succeed on the strengths of their intellectual merit and broader impact. BSF will check the role of the Israeli scientist and her/his eligibility at the onset of the process, but will not conduct a parallel review and will not rank proposals; BSF is likely to fund any Israeli whose research partner is funded by NSF.
