Research Collaboration Fellowship

The objectives of the Research Collaboration Fellowship are to encourage and build research collaborations among faculty members across Penn State and, over time, to attract external funds. This will be accomplished through summer research collaborations between faculty members from the four major research institutes located in University Park and faculty members at other campuses. The Fellowship provides $10,000 seed money to each Fellow to cover summer living and research expenses.

The deadline for Submitting Approved Applications from the Campus Chancellor to the Institutes by email is December 18, 2009. (mail to: rim100@psu.edu ).
