Barbara,
And under Travel...Canada is considered 'domestic' not foreign...
Could this help your cause?

Subject: [RESADM-L] NSF Funding for Foreign Institutions

> Fellow RESADMers,
>
> One of our faculty members would like to do collaborative research with
> a Canadian institution and would like to pursue NSF funding.  He has
> asked if NSF will fund a foreign organization.  I have found what
> appears to be conflicting information.  From the GPG:  "NSF rarely
> provides support to foreign organizations. NSF will consider proposals
> for cooperative projects involving US and foreign organizations,
> provided support is requested only for the US portion of the
> collaborative effort."  Yet, in the section that talks about indirect
> costs, the GPM it says "It is NSF policy that grantees are entitled to
> reimbursement from grant funds for indirect costs (F&A) allocable to the
> NSF share of allowable direct costs of a project, except grants...to
> foreign grantees..."  Further, NSF has General Grant Conditions for NSF
> grants made to foreign grantees.
>
> What's your experience?   Will NSF fund a collaboration with a foreign
> institution and provide funding for both parties?  If so, does one do
> this through a collaborative proposal submission or as a subaward?  If
> such an institutional collaboration/funding is not allowed, can NSF
> funds be used to pay foreign consultants (as long as the maximum daily
> rate is not exceeded)?
>
> Thanks.
