PLEASE NOTE: There are separate submission forms for Option 1 and Option 2.
This grant provides support for research collaborations in Ireland, by funding post-doctoral scholars/researchers in one of two ways:
OPTION 1*
As an ND PI’s cost-share commitment covering post-doctoral travel that could be leveraged as part of their contribution to a larger binational/multinational external grant application, which includes an institution in Ireland. |
OPTION 2*
Facilitating research collaboration for postdoctoral scholars by providing support for travel for those scholars between ND and universities in Ireland.
Travel can be in either direction in that the ND faculty/postdoctoral fellows could apply to support their international collaborators coming to South Bend. |
|
*Notre Dame Dublin and Notre Dame Kylemore are pleased to support logistics.
