University of Adelaide - NC State University Starter Grants for Research Collaboration


The strategic partnership between the University of Adelaide and North Carolina State University is a preferred relationship to leverage complementary strengths and trans-disciplinary scholarship to advance research collaboration as well as academic exchanges.  We are pleased to announce the call for joint proposals for the development of research collaboration.  These awards are designed to provide pump-priming and early contact partner outreach with the expectation that they will lead on to more substantive engagement resulting in high quality outputs, such as international research training for graduate students or early career faculty, publication of joint papers from collaborative research, or follow-on joint research bids.
Funding: Selected proposals will receive up to $10,000 from each institution with a maximum total of $20,000 (jointly funded).  Funds will support the travel and subsistence costs associated with researchers spending time at the partner institution.
Deadline: Friday March 20, 2015
Proposals may include collaborative activities such as:

  • Workshops, guest lecture and high-level seminars on multidisciplinary research areas with global impact
  • Video-conference seminars
  • Development of joint industry-research collaborations with global impact
  • Delivery of a joint publication or other output resulting from collaborative research or scholarship activities
  • Collection of preliminary data to augment a full proposal with potential for global impact to a funding agency
  • Creation and support of joint resources such as websites, research collaboration sites, or other social networking tools to facilitate the dissemination of results
Proposals that include opportunities for the exchange of post-graduate and PhD students are encouraged. Funded projects must be completed within one year of the nominated commencement date.
