Dear COEHD Faculty, The 2017 Call for Proposals from the Thomas Jefferson Fund<http://face-foundation.org/thomas-jefferson-fund/> is now open. This new program, launched by the Embassy of France in the United States and the FACE Foundation with the support of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, aims to encourage and support cooperation among the most promising young French and American researchers, and foster forward-looking collaborative research projects. Applications are accepted in the three following fields: - Humanities and Social Sciences (SSH) - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) - Science for Society (interdisciplinary STEM-SSH projects) The most innovative projects involving transatlantic mobility, collaborative research activities, the organization of joint workshops or conferences, the publication of joint articles, and the participation of younger researchers (PhDs) will receive the highest priority. Joint project proposals must be submitted by April 9, 2017 (Midnight, Eastern Time). We would be grateful if you could widely circulate the 2017 Thomas Jefferson Fund Call for Proposals information flyer to the research units and relevant departments of your institution. The Thomas Jefferson team is available to provide you and your teams any additional information you may need.
