NSF-DFG Lead Agency Aktivität zur US-amerikanisch-deutschen Zusammenarbeit für einen sicheren und vertrauenswürdigen Cyberspace

Stichtag: Vorschläge können (zunächst bis zum 09.01.2025) jederzeit eingereicht werden Programmausschreibungen

Zur Erleichterung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen US-amerikanischen Forschungsguppen und ihren deutschen Kolleginnen und Kollegen haben das Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate (CISE) der US National Science Foundation (NSF) und die Abteilung Mathematik und Ingenieurwissenschaften 2 (II-MING) der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) eine Lead-Agency-Aktivität zum Thema "Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace" vereinbart. Die NSF fungiert als Lead-Agency. Vorschläge können dort (zunächst bis zum 09.01.2025) jederzeit eingereicht werden.

US-German collaborators are invited to submit joint proposals in the areas described in NSF’s “Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace (SaTC)” program. Joint proposals should contain detailed information about the mode and intrinsic necessity of collaboration between the US and the German side. With NSF being the lead agency, proposals submitted under this opportunity will be reviewed by NSF only and along with other proposals submitted to the SaTC program in accordance with the standard NSF merit review criteria and additional review criteria as specified in the SaTC solicitation. The result of the review process will be shared between the agencies to make final decisions on this basis. Please note that there are no separate funds on the DFG side either and proposals will compete with all other proposals in the “Sachbeihilfe/Research Grants Programme”. Proposals selected for funding will be funded by NSF on the US side, and by DFG on the German side.

The scope of this opportunity is the “SaTC: CORE: Small” designation with project durations of up to three years. The TTP (The Transition to Practice) and EDU (Education) designations within SaTC are not covered by this opportunity. For the part to be financed by DFG, only those projects that fall within DFG’s funding responsibility and that fit into the funding scheme “Sachbeihilfe/Research Grants Programme” are eligible. DFG Transfer Projects do not fall within the scope of this effort. The maximum initial funding duration is three years. No general budget limit applies to the part funded by DFG. Projects must have well-defined joint working programs, clearly demonstrating the added value of US-German collaboration. It is expected that each partner substantially contributes to the joint project.

For details regarding NSF´s eligibility criteria and submission guidelines, please refer to the corresponding Dear Colleague Letter NSF 23-051. For the applicants from Germany, the eligibility regulations for the “Sachbeihilfe/Research Grants Programme” apply – cf. DFG Guideline 50.01.

The joint proposal submission opportunity of this activity is expected to continue for two years, ending 9 January 2025. Proposals can be submitted any time, no deadlines apply. Please note that due to the limited duration of this opportunity, it will not be possible to submit joint renewal proposals for projects funded in the course of this activity.
