Message to the members of the American Physical Society Forum on International Physics. Authorized by Noemi Mirkin, Secretary/Treasurer. ***********************************************************
Dear FIP members:
I want to bring to your attention the call for applications for the sixth competitive cycle of the INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL GRANT AWARD PROGRAM. Below are the details of the program and instructions for applying online.
Sincerely,
Noemi Mirkin *************************************************************************
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL GRANT AWARD PROGRAM (ITGAP)
I. Background Following the initiative of the APS Forum on International Physics (FIP), the APS Committee on International Scientific Affairs (CISA) and the Divisions of Nuclear Physics (DNP), Particles and Fields (DPF), and Plasma Physics (DPP) recognize that funding for collaborations between U.S. and developing country scientists is often insufficient to meet existing needs and opportunities.
While the needs are great, and though we have only limited resources to stimulate growth of longer-term collaborations, we believe that an International Travel Grant Award Program (ITGAP), even a modest one, may make a significant difference.
II. Purpose Promote international scientific collaborations, especially between APS members and physicists in developing countries.
III. Amount of the award Up to US$2,000 for travel and lodging expenses for international travel while visiting a collaborator.
IV. Features A. Time limit: Once awarded, the time limit on the use of the award will be a maximum of 5 years. B. Report: A report, with a 300 word public abstract, is required upon completion of the award; this report will be entered onto APS websites. C. Bi-directionality: The trip can be in either direction, with preference given for travel from developing countries to the U.S. D. Preference: Support for the growth of existing collaborations will be given preference over new ones, a measure of the former, for example, being joint publications.
V. Conditions and Criteria A collaborative visit must be for a period of at least one month. One or both partners (co-applicants)in the collaboration must be APS members of at least one of the supporting APS units (FIP, DNP, DPF or DPP). When rank-ordering applications, consideration will be given to:
A. Merit 1. Past record of research accomplishments and promise of future accomplishments; and 2. Invited talks to be delivered during the trip, especially talks at APS-sponsored meetings. B. Need 1. Under-represented countries and ethnic groups will be given priority; and 2. Resources available from other sources with matching funds (leverage) will be considered as a positive factor while potential support available, but not sought, from other sources as a negative factor.
VI. Start-up program At least fourteen awards will be made over the initial 5 year period of 2004-2009 based on 6-month competitive cycles. Twelve awards have been made during the first five cycles. THE DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS FOR THE SIXTH CYCLE IS MONDAY, 4 JUNE, 2007 with decisions made by Monday, 9 July 2007, for an immediate starting date.
Applications are to be submitted online at http://ultron.aps.org/forms/aps.cgi?ID=1006.
They should include the following items: * Narrative proposal of 5000 character (maximum); * Lists of up to 5 most relevant publications of the U.S. and foreign co-applicants; * Statement of financial support provided from an appropriate representative of other sources (leverage); Statement of who is (are) the member(s) of APS units (specifying all that apply - FIP, DNP, DPF, or DPP); Outline of the benefits of the proposal to junior scientists, students, or post-docs from a developing country; and Description of the travel plan and budget.
Applications will be considered active for the current cycle alone without restricting reapplication in subsequent cycles. The Executive Committee of FIP, with assistance from CISA, the APS Office of International Affairs, and other sponsoring APS units, will be responsible for managing the review process. Confidentiality of the reviews is assured with reports going only to the co-applicants.
VII. Longer-term program FIP and CISA invite funding partners to either continue this program or co-develop new programs that meet our combined objectives. We especially seek support of additional APS Units. Larger awards with broader aims and relaxing the restriction on APS membership are anticipated.
VIII. Acknowledgement of Financial Support APS Forum on International Physics APS Division of Nuclear Physics APS Division of Particles and Fields APS Division of Plasma Physics APS Office of International Affairs U.S. Liaison Committee of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics
