U.S. Colleges and Universities Invited to Apply to Multilateral Research Partnership Grant Competition

The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom have recently launched the Global Innovation Initiative, a new higher education grant competition created to strengthen higher education research partnerships between the United States, the United Kingdom and four other countries: Brazil, China, India, and Indonesia. This initiative will provide exciting grant opportunities for post-secondary educational partnerships on topics of global significance in the following four science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-related areas: energy, climate change, and the environment; agriculture, food security, and water; public health and wellbeing; and urbanization.

Accredited U.S. post-secondary educational institutions are invited to apply for one of approximately ten grants of up to $250,000 each, and must apply together with at least one higher education partner in the UK, and one in Brazil, China, India, and/or Indonesia. Grant recipients will be announced in spring 2014.
