All projects must fit within the mission of NSF's Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Science. Participating countries represent four continents: Africa (Republic of South Africa), Europe (Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, United Kingdom), North America (Canada, USA), and South America (Brazil, Columbia). Research teams must include at least 3 participating countries and partners from both sides of the Atlantic. Proposals are due July 12, 2021.
