UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State and the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies at the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg are seeking proposals to foster collaborative, sustainable, self‐supporting research programs. The Collaboration Development Program has been created to provide seed monies to faculty teams to develop plans for long-term programs integrating students and faculty from both universities.
Proposals are expected to focus on program development to enable future collaborative efforts, including work on preliminary research ideas to demonstrate proof‐of‐concept. The program supports research stays, joint conferences, virtual seminars and activities for younger researchers.
This program is open to faculty members in all disciplines. Successful teams will be those that demonstrate a clear potential to be sustainable through external funding sources and involve a clear collaborative effort between faculty members at both Freiburg and Penn State.
The deadline for proposals is Nov. 5. For more information, contact Martin Trethewey at mwtrethewey@psu.edu.
The Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies is the international research college of the University of Freiburg. It strives to support high-level research from all disciplines and to strengthen the international visibility of the university. It runs this program on behalf of the University of Freiburg.

The Collaboration Development Program is part of Penn State's strategy for building a Global Penn State through a network of strategic partnerships with peer institutions around the world. Further information on Global Penn State can be found at https://global.psu.edu.
