A COMPETITION TO SELECT JOINT RUSSIAN-FRENCH PROJECTS BY RFBR AND CNRS (FRANCE)

As part of its cooperation with the National Center for Scientific Research of France (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique; hereinafter: CNRS), the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (“RFBR”) announces, starting from 2005, a permanent project selection competition (without limitation of application submission) for projects to be carried out by joint research groups of Russian and French scientists in the following areas of knowledge:
(01) mathematics, information science and mechanics;
(02) physics and astronomy;
(03) chemistry;
(04) biology and medical science;
(05) Earth sciences;
(06) humanities and social sciences;
(07) projects for the creation and development of information, computer and telecommunication resources to conduct basic research.
General Provisions
To the competition will be submitted joint research projects by groups of scientists from Russia and France.
Important! A required prerequisite to participate in the competition is the availability of financial support from CNRS necessary to conduct work under a respective project in France. CNRS financial support may be provided within the framework of the associated European laboratories, European research associations, international programs for scientific cooperation (PICS) and others.
The duration of each project is 1, 2 or 3 years; the duration of PICS projects is 3 years.
Note. The following application submission procedure is in effect for PICS projects. In February of each year after consultations and receipt of permission to submit a project application to the respective science Department of CNRS, a French joint project manager will receive application forms from the Directorate for International Relations of CNRS which will be used by him or her to submit an application to CNRS. After the holding of a merit review by CNRS, a list of projects supported by CNRS will be transferred to RFBR at the end of the current year. RFBR will post the list on its website and will personally inform respective Russian joint project leaders of the need to submit their applications to RFBR within a month. A list of projects supported on the basis of the results of a RFBR merit review will be forwarded to CNRS. For detailed information on a PICS competition, go to: http://www.drei.cnrs.fr/actualites/Pics2005.
A scientist acting as a project leader may submit only one application to the RFBR and CNRS competition. Participation in the competition, regardless the results thereof, will not prevent the applicant from participating in other RFBR-organized competitions.
Financial Terms
The amount of a RFBR grant will depend on the scope of research work under the project and also on the amount of funding received from CNRS.
Funds allocated for project implementation will be sent to the project funding organization specified in the respective application and may be used to conduct research under all items of the budget approved by RFBR. And expenses (travel expenses) related to trips abroad under ongoing projects should be classed under the Transportation Services section (sub-item 222), while funds necessary to entertain partners under projects in amounts set out in the Order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation “On More Precise Definition of Expenses to Receive and Entertain Foreign Delegations and Individuals" should be classed under the Other Services section (item 290).
In the event Russian scientists are sent to France under a joint project, all accommodation and subsistence expenses shall be borne by the inviting (French) party.
It is important to note that funds allocated to fund a project are budget funds and therefore amounts not used up by end of the financial (calendar) year may be removed and transferred to the State’s budget.
Note. Not more than 15% of the total amount under a grant may be used to compensate expenses on the organizational and technical aspects of project assistance, excluding hospitality, representation and foreign travel expenses.
Periods and procedure for application submission
Applications to receive grants will be accepted on a continuous basis (except for PICS projects). Start of project implementation will be the date of receipt of initial funding from RFBR.
An application to carry out a project should be submitted by its Russian project manager to RFBR.
If an application is submitted in contravention of the above rules, it will not be accepted for the competition.
Application submission forms
Russian scientists are required to submit their applications to RFBR only via our Grant-Express interactive remote system for preparation and registration of applications. Complete rules and regulations on the use of the Grant-Express system are available on our server at: http://grant.rfbr.ru. If required, queries related to the operation of our system of remote application registration may be sent to the following e-mail address grant@intra.ru.
Applications prepared with the aid of the Grant-Express system should be submitted to the Foundation for registration. After a registration number is received, each project leader or manager should submit to RFBR 2 (two) printed copies of their respective applications in an envelope marked “Competition CNRSL_a” (for PICS projects, marked “CNRS_a”).
An application consists of a title page (Form T) and three sections to be prepared under Forms 1, 2, 3 (see the Poisk newspaper, No. 17-18, dated April 30, 2004) and Form 33. On the title page and in Form 1, in the Type of Competition line, it is necessary to specify “CNRSL_a” (for PICS, specify “CNRS_a”). To a printed application must be attached a copy of a letter signed by a French joint project leader and by a French scientific coordinator under a respective cooperation program and addressed to a respective Russian joint project leader which letter should state that CNRS funding has been provided to conduct research work in France, specifying also a time period during which the project should be completed (the above is not required for PICS projects). The duration of each project should coincide with the duration of CNRS funding. It is also required to provide a diskette with a file in (Microsoft Word) format containing the following information table filled out in the English language:

Project No | Name of Russian Project Manager | Full Name of Organization - Place of Employment of Russian Project Manager | Name of French Project Manager | Full Name of Organization - Place of Employment of French Project Manager | Project Name Agreed with French Party
...... | ...... | ...... | ...... | ...... | ......

This file must also be printed out on a separate page in three copies.
Merit review (and expert examination)
All applications accepted to participate in the competition will undergo an independent merit review conducted in accordance with RFBR rules. Information on the merit review process is strictly confidential.
Report submission deadlines
A report for the 1st year of research will be submitted within a month following the expiration of year from commencement of funding.
A report for the 2nd year of research (unless it is a final research year) will be submitted within a month following the expiration of two years from commencement of funding.
A final project report (for two or three years of research) will be submitted within a month following the expiration of two or three years, respectively, from commencement of funding.
At the same time, taking into account the specifics of funding, a project manager may submit an interim report earlier if he or she feels that planned work under the project has been completed early.
