描述：该项目向亚洲文化理事会(ACC)提供资金，以支持印美教育和文化小组委员会挑选的美国学者的研究。获奖者将来自社会科学和自然科学的广泛科学领域，并将与印度的同行合作。这笔赠款的资金用于旅费和与学者研究项目相关的费用，并用于支付获奖者的津贴。ACC科学委员会挑选被提名者提交给NSF，NSF对获奖者进行最终技术评估。过去的参与者主要从事社会和行为科学，一些人从事地质科学，很少人从事物理科学。部分奖励资金用于支持行政协调会的行政工作。范围：印度和印度科学家的合作工作在这个项目中得到展示。ACC驻印度代表处获得了美国科学家加入印度各种学术和研究机构所需的许可。他们还管理每一位科学家及其家人的旅行后勤，酌情管理研究材料进出印度的运输，以及语言培训，并协助研究安排。该项目与美印计划的目标非常契合。

Description: This project provides funds to the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) to support research of U.S. scholars selected under the Indo-U.S Subcommission on Education and Culture. Awardees will come from a wide range of scientific fields in the social and physical sciences, and will work with counterparts in India. Funds from this grant are used for travel expenses and costs related to the scholars' research projects, and to pay for stipends for awardees. The ACC scientific committees select nominees for submission to NSF, which makes final technical evaluation of the awardees. Past participants have been engaged primarily in social and behavioral sciences, with some in geological and few in physical sciences. Part of the award funds supports the ACC administrative work. Scope: Collaborative work by Indian and Indian scientists is demonstrated in this project. The ACC representative office in India obtains the necessary clearances for the U.S. scientists to be affiliated with various Indian academic and research institutions. They also manage the logistics of travel of each scientist, his/her family when appropriate, shipping of research material into and out of India, as well as language training, and assisting with research arrangements. The project fits well with the objectives of the U.S.-India Program.
