Sometimes collaborating with external organizations is the best way to create new knowledge, maximize the impact of your innovations or find opportunities for your graduate students. We work with faculty to identify external organizations that meet your partnership needs, advise on how to best leverage research collaborations and help you connect with external organizations.
How we help
Connect with Organizations
We work with organizations to understand their needs and connect them to opportunities within the faculty. If you want to know what priorities external organizations have we can help.
Advise on Partnership Options
Knowing how and when to collaborate with external organizations is a complex challenge. We will work with you to develop partnership strategies and guidance on how to form partnerships.
Programs and Services
