US - Ireland Planning Grants
Planning Grants
The aim of the US-Ireland R & D Partnership Planning Grant
is to provide planning travel support to researchers in Northern Ireland to travel to the United States in order to develop specific projects with US collaborators for identified programmes under the NSF/NIH auspices. Planning grants, which are administered by Invest NI, are not a pre-requisite for all Northern Ireland researchers who subsequently intend to submit a full application, under the auspices of the US-Ireland R & D Partnership, to Invest NI/DEL for matching funding for any NSF/NIH competitions. They are intended as a vehicle to facilitate development of the tri-jurisdictional application. Should this tripartite application be successful, funding will be provided by the applicable agency to the partners in their jurisdiction. SFI has agreed to manage the assessment process for these planning grants on behalf of Invest NI.
