Materials World Networks ICI

The ARC and the US National Science Foundation (NSF) had an agreement (2005-2007) to stimulate enhanced collaborations among materials science researchers and to create networks linking individuals and centres in Australia and the USA.

The ARC and US NSF accepted counterpart proposals from researchers and eligible research organisations in their respective countries and undertook peer review according to their normal procedures. The two agencies liaised with each other before reaching their separate funding decisions, with the aim of reaching a common decision. However, each agency also retained the right of final decision on their respective recommendations for funding.
