2010 JOINT COMPETITION: RFBR – U.S. CIVIC RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION

The RFBR and the U.S. Civic Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) have announced a 2010 competition of the joint Russian-American pilot projects (IK_A Competition) for obtaining financial support for the conduct of the basic scientific research on climate change and its consequences (IK_A Type of Competition) in the following sciences:
(01) Mathematics, Information Science and Mechanics;
(02) Physics and Astronomy;
(03) Chemistry and Material Sciences;
(04) Biology and Medicine;
(05) Geosciences;
(08) Basic Principles of Engineering Sciences.
The maximum period for execution of the joint pilot scientific project is 2 years.
The condition for providing the financial support is the scientists’ obligation to make the research results a common property of people, publishing them with mentioning the fact of support of such research by both the RFBR and the CRDF.
Both the Russian and American scientists – the IK_A Competition project participants – come to a preliminary agreement as for the content of their applications. The title of the project must be the same for both Russian and American applications.
The Russian scientists send their applications to the RFBR and the American scientists – to the CRDF.
All the applications accepted for the competition are simultaneously to undergo an independent examination: the American scientists’ application – at the CRDF and the Russian scientists’ applications – at the RFBR. The applications are to be considered independently by either party in accordance with their own rules. The final decision on the support is to be made jointly by the parties.
The competition results are to be summed up by April 2010. All supported projects financing is to commence in the second quarter of 2010. The project is to be financed only if being supported by both organizations. At that, the following principle is to be observed: either party pays the expenses incurred with the project implementation in its territory.
The maximum amount of the RFBR grant is 600 000 rubles per year. The RFBR grant obtained by the competition results can be spent for the following purposes:
- Reimbursement of costs for the Russian scientists’ trips to the USA (flights, accommodation and daily allowance);
- Reimbursement of the equipment and consumables costs;
- Salary.
The following periods are to be established for the origination and reporting by the Russian participants of the project:
a) The Origination (of the project) – 15 April 2010;
b) The Interim Report – until 15 April 2011;
c) The Final Report – until 15 April 2012.
The Russian scientists’ reports on the pilot projects to the extent of CC_A (ÈÊ_À) Competition are to be drawn up in accordance with the rules for the reports on ‘A’ Pilot Project Competition (see the RFBR website – the Rules for the Reports for a Corresponding Year of Submission).
Only those applications are to be accepted for consideration, drawn up with the help of the ‘Grant-Express’ interactive (via the Internet) system within the period from 1 September to 1 December 2009. After obtaining a registration number, the Project Manager must print out and submit one printed application copy to the RFBR until 15 December 2009.
All applications are to be drawn up in accordance with the rules for Competition ‘A’ of 2010.
