The German-American Academic Council Foundation (GAAC), in agreement with
the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) and the German Ministry for
Education, Science, Research, and Technology, will make TransCoop Program
funds available in 1998 to support research projects between German,
U.S.-American and Canadian scholars in the humanities and social sciences,
economics, and law.
The Bonn-based AvH established TransCoop in 1990 to promote transatlantic
research cooperation. In July 1994 the GAAC took over the management of the
program. The AvH, one of the seven science organizations affiliated with
the GAAC, will remain the sponsoring institution of TransCoop.
Projects selected for funding can receive a total of DM 90.000 (US-$
53,000, subject to alterations in the exchange rate) each. Funding has to
be applied for in German currency (D-Mark). The maximum duration of
sponsorship for each project is three years.
TransCoop funds have to be equally matched by funds from U.S. and/or
Canadian sources. The amount and sources of the matching funds must be
detailed in the application and have to be confirmed before TransCoop
funding commences.

Program 1998/I (dead-line: 15 December 1997), can be found at the following
