2011 COMPETITION BY RFBR AND THE G-8 BASIC RESEARCH FOUNDATIONS FOR JOINT PROJECTS

The Russian Foundation for Basic Research (“RFBR”) together with NSERC (Canada), ANR (France), DFG (Germany), JSPS (Japan), RC (Britain), NSF (USA) announce a competition for projects to conduct research into the use of application software towards Exascale Computing for Global Scale Issues (designated: G8_a competition).
A Russian scientist may act as a participant or as the head of a group of Russian participants and may also be elected director of a project by all its participants only in one application and, accordingly, may -- upon completion of the competition -- become director or manager of only one project winning support from the basic research foundations of the involved nations and obtain a relevant grant from RFBR. Participation in the competition, regardless the results thereof, will not disqualify the applicant from participating in other RFBR-organized competitions. The number of Russian participants in joint research groups shall not exceed 10 persons, including the Russian co-director of each team.
Preliminary and full applications are to be submitted to the DFG of Germany which acts as the program coordinator (http://www.dfg.de/g8-initiative).
Each project must involve research collectives from at least 3 nations participating in the program.
Preliminary applications must be submitted by May 7, 2010. The selection commission will review them by June 18, 2010, after which it will announce which research collectives will be supported and provided funding. From June 28 to August 25 these collectives or teams must prepare and submit full applications to take part in the competition.
Funding will be provided to projects starting from the first quarter of 2011. The list of projects awarded financial support will be published on the RFBR website.
The duration of a joint G-8 research project may be from 2 to 3 years. The duration of a specific project will be determined by applicants and also based on the results of a joint expert review.
It is not permitted to submit the same initiative-based projects to more than one RFBR competition simultaneously.
Reports by Russian project participants under the international G8_a competition will be drawn up as per applicable rules for paragraph “a” competition reports effective during the year when relevant reports are submitted.
Reports for 2010 are to be submitted by March 1, 2012; reports for 2012 are to be submitted by March 1, 2013; reports for 2013 are to be submitted by March 1, 2014.
RFBR is planning to support not more than five G8_a projects per year with the payment of grants for the total amount of up to EUR 500,000 in rubles as at the exchange rate effective on the date when funding is approved by the Bureau of the Foundation Board.
A Russian organization serving as a base for research work under a joint project may use not more than 15% of the total funding amount to compensate expenses on organizational and technical support but excluding expenses on sending Russian project participants to foreign countries taking part in the project and expenses on receiving foreign scientists from the participating national foundations.
The Russian co-director of a competition winning project must submit to RFBR an application for funding which application must be drawn up using our Grant-Express system. After a registration number is received, the project director should print out and submit to RFBR 1 (one) printed-out copy of the application.
