A recent NSF Dear Colleague letter was issued to remind researchers involved in the BRAIN initiative of funding programs and mechanisms that support international cooperation. Most of these programs are equally applicable to international collaborations in other research topics funded by NSF and bear repeating:
- Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE)
- Research Coordination Networks (RCN)
- NSF Research Traineeships (NRT)
- Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI)
- International Research Experiences for Students (IRES)
- Graduate Research Opportunities Worldwide (GROW)
- Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC)
