University Global Partnership Network (UGPN)
Research Collaboration Fund - Fourth Call for Proposals (2015)

The University Global Partnership Network (UGPN) is pleased to announce the Fourth Call for Proposals of the UGPN Research Collaboration Fund. This Fund supports high-quality research collaborations between researchers at the UGPN partner institutions. The intention is that these awards go beyond pump-priming to support substantive engagement that leads to high quality outputs, such as joint papers or joint research bids. Proposals should be jointly submitted by faculty from at least two of the UGPN partner institutions.

Deadline for submission: Friday April 17, 2015 at 5:00 pm
