São Paulo Researchers in International Collaboration announces new call for proposals

The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR) in partnership with São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) announce the call for proposals under the SPRINT initiative - São Paulo Researchers in International Collaboration. 

The call for proposals aims to promote the engagement of researchers affiliated with higher education and research institutions in the State of São Paulo in partnership with researchers abroad in order to further develop the ongoing research projects and work cooperatively, with the purpose of elaborating joint research projects for the medium and long term. 

FAPESP and IANR (Agricultural Research Division and IANR Global Engagement) will each fund the equivalent of US $10,000 per proposal per year (total of US$20,000 per year). IANR expects to fund two proposals. The maximum duration of each project is 24 months, non-extendable. The application deadline is April 30, 2018.

Two Nebraska faculty, Chris Calkins and Steve Taylor, were chosen for 2017's awards; learn more about their ongoing projects with Brazilian collaborators here.  For specific questions beyond what can be found in the eligibility and proposal submission guidelines, please contact Liana Calegare (lcalegare2@unl.edu).
