---+!! 2012 Call For Proposals

The call for applications to FCPPL 2012 funding is now open. It will close on <b> January 15th, 2012 </b>.  

The application must be prepared in collaboration by the Chinese and French teams involved in the proposal. Budget request and proposed research plans have to be agreed upon by the 2 sides and detailed in the application.

---++ How to apply?

 1 Upload the [[%ATTACHURL%/Field-ChineseInst-FrenchInst-Name_2012_proposal.docx][proposal]] form, and if you received FCPPL support in 2011, the [[%ATTACHURL%/Field-ChineseInst-FrenchInst-Name_2011_report.docx][report]] form. Other formats than docx are available in the table at the end of this page.

 2 Rename the files according to the the following rules:
      
   * _Field_ should be replaced by PART (if your project is related to a (running) Particle Physics experiment, such as LHC experiments or BES for example), DEV (for a project on R&D detector development or instrumentation), THP (Theoretical Physics) and AST for Astroparticle and cosmology. <b>Note that the field definition has been modified compared to previous years </b>.
   * _ChineseInst_ (resp. _FrenchInst_) is the institute of the Chinese (resp. French) project leader.
   * _Name_ is a short (&lt;10 letters) title for the project. For projects existing in 2011 already, please keep the same title.
   Both the application file and the report file should named by their _ID_ (for example "LHC-IHEP-CPPM-Atlas_proposal .doc" and "LHC-IHEP-CPPM-Atlas_report.doc", ....). *Please do NOT name any file "Field-ChineseInst-FrenchInst-Name_2011_proposal.doc" or "Field-ChineseInst-FrenchInst-Name_2010_report.doc".*

 3 Fill in the two forms. See the Guidelines section (or  [[%ATTACHURL%/Guidelines.pdf][this pdf file]])  below and the [[%ATTACHURL%/PART-IHEP-CPPM-CMS_proposal_example.pdf][example]] for help.
 
 4 Send the application and report forms to Esthere Garnier (garnier@cppm.in2p3.fr)  and cc to omartino@in2p3.fr and chen.gang@ihep.ac.cn.

---++ Guidelines

Below are some guidelines to fill in the application, also available [[%ATTACHURL%/Guidelines.pdf][here]] under pdf format.

   * FCPPL funding can be requested only for staff (researcher, engineer, and student) exchange. <b>By no means can FCPPL funding be used to buy material or equipment </b>.

   *  <b>The contributions requested to France and China must be equivalent </b>.This is an important criterion that will be taken into account to approve or not the renewal each year. Note that at present there is no FCPPL specific budget on the Chinese side and that the Chinese teams must contribute from their own project money.  Note also that this principle of balanced amounts only applies to the funding requested to FCPPL, not to the additional funding (ANR, CSC, etc). 

   * Given the present financial context in FCPPL.IN2P3, it is highly unlikely that the FCPPL.IN2P3 support to a given project exceeds 8000€. <b> Projects are therefore strongly encouraged to seek financial support to the (numerous) alternative funding sources for Sino-French scientific collaboration (e.g. Cai Yuan Pei, PICS, CAS-CNRS or NSFC-CNRS programs, CSC or Eiffel FCPPL.PhD grants). FCPPL will provide you with all technical support available to help you set up your application and optimize your chances of success to any of these program calls. </b>

   * <b> As a general practice in FCPPL </b>, for a staff exchange, the country of origin pays for the trip cost while the host country takes the stay costs in charge. Travel to China +visa typically cost 1000€ (9000 yuans to France). Daily expenses in China (France) roughly amount to 500 yuans (90€). The advised allowance is 2000€/month for a staff’s stay in France, 1400€/month for a student (all included). In the latter case, requests should not exceed 6 months, as it is then possible to get funding from other sources (CSC in particular).  

   * Both in the proposal and report forms, <b> sources of funding other than FCPPL </b> should be quoted if they directly benefit to this specific collaboration project. FCPPL.PhD grants (in the case of a student in co-tutorship working on this research project), or equipment (again if directly linked to this specific research project) for example fall into this category. The funding source (China Scholarship Council, PICS, laboratory,…) as well as its status (submitted/ approved) and amount should be quoted. See examples in PART-IHEP-CPPM-CMS_proposal_example.pdf.

   * Applications will be evaluated by French and Chinese reviewers and discussed at the steering committee to be held right after the FCPPL workshop. <b>The scientific conclusions as well as the final funding decisions will be communicated to the applicants in the weeks following this steering committee </b>.

   * These guidelines are illustrated in a (fake) <b> [[%ATTACHURL%/PART-IHEP-CPPM-CMS_proposal_example.pdf][example]] form </b>, filled for a (fake) project composed of 3 French participants (2 researchers+1 engineer) from CPPM + 3 Chinese participants (2 researchers + 1 FCPPL.PhD student) from IHEP, working on a project related to the CMS Silicon tracker. In this example the request includes support for a 3-days workshop to be organized in France. Besides, the FCPPL.PhD student is applying for a CSC 6-months grant (to be complemented through a lab-supported 400€/month allocation), and the French group is using 4000€ from its laboratory funding to buy equipment to be used by the FCPPL.PhD student during his stay in France.
