Description
The
International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program supports
international research and research-related activities for U.S. science and
engineering students. This
solicitation features three mechanisms; proposers are required to select one of
the following tracks to submit their proposal. Track I: IRES Sites (IS) projects
engage a group of undergraduate and/or graduate students in active high quality
collaborative research at an international site with mentorship from
researchers at a host lab. IRES Sites must be organized around a coherent
intellectual theme that may involve a single discipline or multiple disciplines
funded by NSF. Track II: Advanced Studies Institutes (ASI) are intensive short
courses with related activities that engage advanced graduate students in
active learning and research at the frontiers of knowledge. ASIs typically
range in length from ten to twenty-one days and must be held outside the United
States. Track III: New Concepts in International Graduate Experience (IGE)
projects propose, implement, and evaluate creative ideas for catalyzing the
development of globally engaged U.S. scientists and engineers at the graduate
student level. The IGE IRES track invites professional societies and
organizations in the U.S. directly associated with science and engineering
education or research activities to propose innovative large-scale programs to
provide high-quality international research and/or research-related professional
development experiences for U.S. graduate students as individuals or groups.
Students do not apply directly to NSF to participate in IRES activities.
Students apply to NSF-funded investigators who receive IRES
awards.
