U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation: Cooperative Grants Program
Description: At the core of CRDF's activities is the Cooperative Grants Program (CGP). Launched as CRDF's first initiative in 1995, the program provides up to two years of support for joint U.S. and Eurasian research teams in all areas of basic and applied research in the natural sciences. The program offers an avenue into new research directions and collaborative opportunities for both U.S. and Eurasian scientists and engineers. Such collaborations strengthen the quality of foreign research, provide opportunities for junior researchers and female scientists, support the redirection of former weapons scientists to civilian research and establish the background of knowledge and technology on which successful and profitable industry and business partnerships may be built.
Deadline: Various, please see website for details
University Summer Course in Germany
Description: This program, meant to help undergraduates build their language skills while studying anything from film to politics to engineering, provides scholarships to attend a broad range of three- to four week summer courses taught in German at German universities which focus mainly on literary, cultural, political, and economic aspects of modern and contemporary Germany. Extensive extracurricular programs complement and reinforce the core material.
Deadline:Not currently accepting applications; please check the website for information about the 2014-2015 year.
Whitaker Awards
Description: A Whitaker International Fellow or Scholar experience will ideally advance an emerging biomedical engineering career, while also advancing the goal of increased international collaboration in BME. Grantees will come from diverse geographic areas of the United States and they will conduct their Whitaker Fellow or Scholar activity in diverse regions of the world. Candidates may apply to study or do research in any country outside of the U.S., except Canada, because it is contiguous with the United States, and the international experience is minimized.
Deadline: Not currently accepting applications; please check the website for information about the 2014-2015 year.
