Partnerships for International Research and Education (PIRE)
PIRE makes multi-million dollar awards to U. S. institutions that build strong international research and education partnerships. Each PIRE award supports U. S. faculty to lead projects designed to achieve research excellence through the added-value gained by international collaboration. Each PIRE award prepares a globally engaged U.S. workforce by funding U. S. undergraduate and graduate students and/or junior researchers to participate in international research experiences, and foster the internationalization of U. S. institutions in science and engineering fields.
