Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER)
This program builds capacity in research, teaching, training, and related activities through the establishment of strong U.S.-Indonesian scientific collaboration. Indonesian scientists compete for merit-based research funds in a range of technical sectors, including climate change, biodiversity, education, and health. The program provides scientists with new ways of funding research and development. PEER awards are flexible, multi-year, and have a simplified reporting structure. Each PEER award is conducted in collaboration with a committed U.S. partner, funded by one of a number of U.S. Government agencies. The program will also continue to support activities that enhance the participation of young and early career scientists, as well as increase scientific exchange and collaborative opportunities through the annual American-Indonesian Frontiers of Science symposium.
