Scientists win four more US scientific research awards
Vietnam earned another four awards in the latest round of the Partnerships for Enhanced Engagement in Research (PEER), a US-funded programme to fund scientific research in developing countries, the US Embassy in Vietnam announced on September 13.
The PEER programme is supported by USAID in conjunction with several science agencies of the US Government.
Administered by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, PEER is a competitive grants program that invites scientists in developing countries, partnered with US Government-supported collaborators, to apply for funds to support research and capacity-building activities on topics with strong potential development impacts.
This innovative programme is designed to leverage the investments other USG-supported agencies have made in scientific research and training while supporting the initiatives of developing country scientists.
Earlier, Vietnamese scientists won eight PEER awards.
