Agência FAPESP – The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) announces the first call for proposals in 2016 under the SPRINT – São Paulo Researchers in International Collaboration initiative.

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

The new call details the conditions for submitting proposals for the mobility of researchers to work in partnership with the following institutions that have cooperation agreements with FAPESP:

  • CSTC, Iran
  • Heriot-Watt University, UK
  • Institute of Education - University of London, UK
  • London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
  • University of Glasgow, UK
  • University of Melbourne, Australia
  • University of Münster, Germany

FAPESP considers that principal investigators with the following funding lines are eligible to submit proposals in response to this call: Regular Research Awards, Thematic Projects, Young Investigators, Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (CEPIDs/RIDCs), Public Education Research Program, Research in Public Policies, and Research Partnership for Technological Innovation (PITE). Co-Principal Investigators of Ongoing Thematic Projects, CEPIDs/RIDCs, and PITEs are also eligible to apply.

The call is also open to proposals from researchers whose partners are from institutions with which FAPESP does not have a current agreement. In that case, the principal investigator must present evidence to FAPESP of the availability of matching funds.

The closing date for submission of proposals is April 25th.

The call for proposals SPRINT 01/2016 may be accessed at www.fapesp.br/en/10016.
