Pre-announcement of a call for NRF NSF Biodiversity on a Changing Planet Joint Research Programme

The United States of America’s National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate of Biological Sciences and the National Research Foundation (NRF) have formed a partnership to promote opportunities for collaboration between researchers of the United States and South Africa. This collaboration offers United States and South African researchers an opportunity to apply for funding for Joint Research in the Biodiversity on a Changing Planet (BoCP) programme.

Please Note:
Please note that the NSF is running the same BoCP Programme with two other countries, i.e., China – in partnership with the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and Brazil – in partnership with the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP). Therefore, the US and South African PIs are allowed to submit a multilateral joint project, incorporating other research partners from China and/or Brazil into their project, bringing added value. PIs should ensure that all the partners in their joint projects are eligible to receive funds from their funders (i.e., NSF, NSFC, and FAPESP) to cover their costs of participating in the project. It is also important to ensure that both the Chinese and Brazilian partners apply to their funders.
