The partnerships should center on collaborative research between at least two departments at MSU and partnering institutions. Funds may be granted for activities including research proposal development, related travel and preliminary research activities that build capacity at partnering institutions around the GenCen-identified areas mentioned above. They should ultimately lead to potential long-term research and other collaborations between MSU and the partner institution. Funding may be granted for continued support to develop these partnerships depending on the outcomes of the initial grant.
Strategic Partnership funds will provide partial support of travel and/ research costs, both for MSU faculty and for their partners coming from abroad. The applicant faculty members' colleges and/or departments will be expected to contribute to the costs of this travel to ensure that the commitment to long-term partnering is shared by these units. A 20% match by a department or college is required. Strategic Partnership funding is not intended to support the travel of Center or Office Directors; self-recommendations from individuals involved in the application are strongly discouraged. The awards should ultimately result in the development and submission of a collaborative research proposal (including MSU and partner institution faculty) for external funding.
