1. THE PARTNERSHIPS FOR ENHANCED
ENGAGEMENT IN RESEARCH (PEER) SCIENCE PROGRAM, NATIONAL ACADEMIES, WASHINGTON DC. DEADLINE:
DECEMBER 14, 2012
Program
Background and Objectives
The
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is exploring new
opportunities to use science and technology to meet the world’s development
challenges. As part of its science and technology strategy, USAID is supporting
various mechanisms to leverage the investments that other U.S. government
agencies make in scientific research and training. In this context, USAID, in
partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF), have launched
Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) Science. PEER Science
is a competitive grants program that invites scientists in developing countries
to apply for funds to support research and capacity-building activities on
topics of importance to USAID and conducted in partnership with their
NSF-funded collaborators. Areas in which both NSF and USAID have strong mutual interests
include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Food security topics such as
agricultural development, fisheries, and plant genomics
· Climate change impacts such as water
sustainability, hydrology, ocean acidification, climate process and modeling,
and environmental engineering
· Other development topics including
disaster mitigation, biodiversity, water, and renewable energy
Proposals
in these topical areas of interest may be submitted by applicants based in any
of the 87 PEER Science-eligible countries. The eligible countries can be
reviewed at http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/dsc/peerscience/PGA_070201.
Additionally, PEER Science invites proposals from applicants in the following
specific countries or working on the following topical areas, for which USAID
missions and offices have allocated resources to foster science and development
goals: Indonesia, Biodiversity Conservation and Clean Energy in the Philippines,
Water for the Middle East and North Africa, Biodiversity Research in the Lower
Mekong, Maldives Climate Change Adaptation, and Biodiversity Conservation in
Brazil.
When
writing their proposals, developing country applicants should consider how their
proposed research and/or capacity building activities will contribute to
USAID’s development objectives. Collaborative projects involving multiple
developing countries that explore regional issues related to these development
objectives are encouraged. Pending the availability of funds and the receipt of
meritorious proposals, the majority of PEER Science funding will be awarded to
projects related to the USAID development areas of interest specified above.
Applicants are encouraged to consult the list of projects funded in Cycle 1 of
PEER Science for examples of the topics and types of projects supported.
Proposals focused on basic science topics without clear relevance to USAID
development objectives are strongly discouraged. In addition, no health-related
research will be supported under PEER Science. Researchers working on
health-related topics may wish to explore opportunities offered by the recently
announced PEER Health Program.
PEER
Science is designed to leverage NSF funds awarded to U.S. researchers with funds from
USAID that can be distributed to developing country researchers so that both
sides have the resources they need to work together productively. Therefore,
research projects proposed under PEER Science must be collaborative in nature and
must complement research goals specified in the NSF award, as well as the
technical and developmental goals of USAID. Examples of the types of activities
that may be funded under PEER Science include education and training;
technology dissemination; application and adaptation of new technologies;
support for students, postdoctoral associates, and researchers; international
travel; communications; equipment, materials, and supplies for developing
country institutions; and research networks.
The
program will consider a limited number of workshops on innovative or novel
areas of research in which NSF-funded projects intersect with USAID’s
development interests. These workshops must be designed to help create new
research collaborations between U.S.
and developing country researchers, so proposals requesting support for
workshops must clearly explain how they would lead to sustained research
partnerships.
PEER
Science is being implemented by the National Academies, which will manage the
proposal review process and disburse and monitor grants awarded. Beyond the
current program cycle, it is expected that solicitations for PEER Science will
be issued at least annually, with details to be posted at http://www.nationalacademies.org/peerscience.
For further information, please review the full PEER Science program
solicitation. The program staff are available to answer questions at peer@nas.edu or +1-202-334-3345.

Science Program Solicitation and Instructions can be found at http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/dsc/peerscience/PGA_071743
