OVERVIEW OF INT PROGRAMS

The table below lists various programs and approaches for obtaining NSF support for international research and education collaborations. More information is provided via the links to sections on the Opportunities by Type of Activity page and specific announcements. Details on programs unique to specific countries or regions are provided by each Regional Program.

NSF support for international research and education collaborations can be requested using three methods:

• Current NSF grantees may request a SUPPLEMENT TO THEIR EXISTING GRANT to add an international dimension. There are no INT deadlines for submitting such supplement requests.
• Include international collaboration as part of a NEW PROPOSAL TO NON-INT PROGRAMS. Principal investigators should coordinate with both the relevant disciplinary and INT program managers before submitting a proposal.
• Submit a proposal DIRECTLY TO INT for support of international travel and subsistence, and other items to enable international collaboration.

If you need this table in an alternative format, contact the INT Webmaster.

* undr: Pre-College and Undergraduate Students; grad: Graduate Students;
  postdoc: Postdoctoral Researchers; and PI: Principal Investigators

NOTE that few programs accept direct applications from students or postdoctoral researchers. In most cases, student and postdoctoral researcher participation can be included in proposals submitted by principal investigators.

** If a proposal will be submitted to another NSF program, or will be considered jointly by INT and another program, it is important to follow the guidelines, including deadline dates, of the non-INT program.

*** Eligibility depends on the number of years one has held the doctoral degree.
