Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE)

This PIRE competition invites visionary, ambitious, interdisciplinary, use-inspired research proposals that address scientific challenges related to climate change and/or clean energy.

The projects will utilize multi-stakeholder and international partnerships that are essential to address these challenges of critical societal importance on a regional or global scale. The research areas may include any combination of the natural and physical sciences, engineering, and social sciences. Proposals that advance understanding of the human and behavioral aspects of climate change and/or clean energy challenges are encouraged.  Educational activities should be integral to the project. Only high-caliber research proposals that require international collaborations and show a clear potential for rapid scale-up and growth will be considered. Proposals that could be submitted to regular disciplinary and interdisciplinary programs at NSF will be returned without review.
