    The document outlines key guidelines related to joint applications for grants associated with the program “PRC Activities in International Organizations.” Joint applications are permissible, but only one organization or individual, designated as the lead, will receive the grant. Various conditions must be met, such as the lead grantee needing to be actively involved in the project and having a written agreement with any sub-awardees. Budgets must clearly indicate costs related to the lead and sub-award participants. Additionally, the evaluation of the "benefitting country" requirement is primarily based on the study's focus and the relationship between the researchers and the benefiting countries. The Merit Review Panel will assess links like nationality and institutional affiliation with the benefitting countries, influencing the project's ranking. It's emphasized that a direct connection to the benefitting countries is not necessary for all project participants, but demonstrating such ties enhances the proposal's merit. This guidance is essential for applicants to understand the parameters for funding within the federal government's framework, ensuring compliance and clarity in collaborative research projects. For further inquiries, applicants are encouraged to contact the provided email address.
