The pursuit of scientific goals recognises no geographic boundaries and as such, international collaborations are today more the norm than the exception. To facilitate the support of collaborative work between German groups and their US counterparts, DFG's Physics, Mathematics and Geoscience Division and NSF's Physics Division (PHY) on the basis of a Memorandum of Understanding between both organisations have recently signed a lead agency agreement that outlines a joint co-review process in the area of Gravitational Physics.
International collaborations are invited to submit proposals in the areas described in the Gravitational Physics programmes. These proposals will be reviewed in competition with other proposals received in the same submission window by one of the agencies which will serve as the lead agency. It is important to note that there are no separate funds available for these efforts through the Physics Division; proposals must compete with all other proposals within the programme and must succeed on the strengths of their intellectual merit and broader impact. The result of the review process will be shared between the agencies to make final decisions on this basis. Support will be granted for those proposals with both DFG and NSF recommendation for funding.
