<span style="color:#076873;text-decoration:none">NSF Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE)</span></a> is a foundation-wide program that supports international activities across all NSF supported disciplines. The primary goal of the PIRE
is to support high quality projects in which advances in research and education could not occur without international collaboration. PIRE seeks to catalyze a higher level of international engagement in the U.S. science and engineering community by facilitating
the development of a diverse, globally-engaged, U.S. science and engineering workforce. PIRE projects must include collaboration with foreign research partners and international research experiences for students. In addition, PIRE projects must involve groups
traditionally underrepresented in science and engineering.<br>
<br>
UA is limited to 1 proposal. Average award size is expected to be approximately $4 million over 5 years.<br>
<br>
In addition to U.S. NSF supported research, international PIRE collaborators may apply for funding through science agencies located in China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Russia, Spain, and Taiwan. See the solicitation
(link above) for additional information.<br>
