How to Apply

^-A ⁺A

Turkish principal investigator (PI) willing to apply to TUBITAK 2501 Joint Research Program needs to find a US research partner either with an ongoing NSF research grant or planning to apply to a new NSF research grant program. One-sided applications will be rejected. For the Turkish side to be funded by TUBITAK, each proposal should be reviewed and found eligible for funding separately by each national institution.

Turkish researchers need to apply to TUBITAK 2501 Joint Research Program while the US researchers need to find a suitable funding program among any of the NSF grants open for application. Consequently, the NSF grant program and its deadline vary depending on the thematic field and the NSF division conducting the grant program.

Each side applies separately to their national funding institution’s application system. Turkish researchers apply through http://uidb-pbs.tubitak.gov.tr/ while US researchers use the NSF application system “Fastlane” via https://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/ . Both national funding institutions separately review the proposals according to their internal procedures. Proposals are reviewed along with international scientific peer review principles. After the review process funding institutions inform each other about their decision. TUBITAK funds only the projects found eligible by both sides while the NSF does not require a positive decision from TUBITAK to fund the US research group.

Project Budget - 720.000 TL

Project budget covers research, international travel and perdiem of the Turkish research group.PI, Researchers and Scholars in the project group can benefit from international travel expenses.

Project Time - 36 months.

Projects proposed by the Turkish side can last up to 36 months.

Note: Project budget and the time limit of the US side varies depending on the NSF support program applied.
