The strategic partnership between the University of Adelaide (UA) and North Carolina State University (NC State) is a preferred relationship to leverage complementary strengths and trans-disciplinary scholarship to advance research collaboration as well as academic exchanges. The joint Starter Grants for Research Collaboration are designed to spur new research collaborations, with the expectation that funded projects will lead to more substantive engagement. Potential high quality outputs include international research training for graduate students and/or early career faculty, publication of joint papers from collaborative research, or follow-on joint research funding bids.
