Global Innovation Initiative: Deadline December 16, 2013


While this announcement is focused on STEM, in many cases these projects won't succeed without a humanist or social scientist. If you are working on an interdisciplinary project that looks like a good fit, I encourage you to apply.

The N.C. State Office of International Affairs is sharing news of the following multilateral collaborative research opportunity, the "Global Innovation Initiative." 

The Global Innovation Initiative (GII), a joint effort of the United States and the United Kingdom, requests proposals for multilateral research collaboration among universities in the U.S. the U.K. and certain other designated countries, including Brazil, China, India and Indonesia.

GII, funded by the U.S. Department of State, U.K. Department of Business, Innovation and Skills and the British Council, will provide grants of up to $250,000 (£150,000) to university partnerships focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) issues of worldwide significance in the following four areas: 

Energy, climate change and the environment; 
Agriculture, food security and water; 
Public health and well-being; and 
Urbanization.

Proposal due dateDecember 16, 2013 at 9 a.m. Please visit www.global-innovation-initiative.org for more information.
