Building sustainable fisheries, monitoring landslide risk, studying the emerging bio-economy: these are some of the research projects announced today in the newest round of an inter-agency partnership to foster collaborative global research.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awards will advance the scientific and technical capacity of the U.S. and countries in critical areas of development. The projects are the latest set of Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER) awards, which pair NSF-funded U.S. scientists with researchers in developing countries, who are funded by USAID. NSF’s 16 PEER awards span eight countries and include research in ocean acidification, malarial transmission, climate adaptation and more.
