Dear Colleagues, The France-Berkeley Fund is pleased to announce its 2019 Call for Projects. Grants of up to $12,000 will be awarded as seed money for new, bi-national research collaborations. Applications are welcome from all fields. Application deadline: Thursday, January 31, 2019 Funded projects may begin between July 1 and December 1, 2019. For complete details and to apply, visit our website at http://fbf.berkeley.edu/ . With any questions, e-mail fbf@berkeley.edu. Program Information: Established in 1993 as a partnership with the Ministère des Affaires Etrangères, the France-Berkeley Fund supports and promotes scholarly collaboration in all disciplines between the University of California and public research centers and institutions of higher learning in France. Special consideration is given to projects involving junior scholars, projects such as workshops or conferences designed to generate new research strategies (especially in the human sciences), and projects that maximize the number of researchers involved. Eligibility: The Fund considers projects jointly submitted by a tenured or tenure-track professor or a permanent researcher at UC Berkeley or UC Davis, and a professor or permanent researcher at a French public research institution or institution of higher learning. Previous grantees may apply separately with a new partner for a new project, as long as the previously granted project was completed prior to July 1, 2017. Teams of researchers who previously received a FBF grant may not reapply together, even if the proposed project is a new one. Researchers may submit a maximum of one application per funding round. The FBF does not pay for release time for faculty. Grants cannot be used to purchase equipment except for project-specific supplies that will be consumed over the course of the project. Funds cannot be used to pay student or postdoc salaries or stipends, or to cover everyday living expenses that would be incurred regardless of the project. Grants may be used for short-term living expenses for project-related travel. We look forward to receiving your applications and encourage you to circulate widely to fellow faculty and researchers.
If you are a manager who supervises UC Berkeley employees without email access, please circulate this information to all. |
