Inter-American Collaboration in Materials Research Competition Results,

Inter-American Collaboration in Materials Research (CIAM) is an international multi-agency initiative through which participating countries support opportunities for new interactions among materials researchers that leverage the strengths of each country's scientific community. NSERC is the Canadian agency participating in the second coordinated CIAM competition (2004-2005).

Researchers participating in CIAM projects request funding from their respective country. Proposals from individuals or teams based at NSERC-eligible institutions were submitted directly to NSERC. Collaborators from other participating countries submitted their counterpart proposal to the participating funding agency of their home country.

The adjudication of the CIAM applications involved a two-tier review process; in order to be funded by NSERC, an application had to succeed at both review stages. In the first stage of review, the NSERC Selection Committee met in Ottawa from March 9 to 11 to review applications. The CIAM award selection process did not involve joint review; however, in the second stage of review, evaluation results were compared and award selections negotiated among the counterpart agencies.

Of the 49 applications that were received by NSERC, nine were chosen to receive funding, for a success rate of 18.3 per cent.
