Inter-Institutional Activities

Inter-Institutional Activities

The Office of Institutional Research requires you to report your inter-institutional activities.  The types of activities our office tracks include academic paper reviews,  conference organization (planning), faculty swap, research, research fellow, seminars, and visiting scholars.  In order for the office to collect the necessary data, please complete the registration form linked below.

The registration form will collect event dates, primary location information, the associated college(s) and/or department(s).  Agreement details and contact signature data are gathered to assess every aspect of the activity being registered.

At Oxford University, our academic work is an international enterprise.  We collaborate every day with colleagues at universities around the world - working on joint research, reviewing academic papers, organizing conferences and giving seminar papers.  Our view is that collaborations work best bottom-up, driven by the shared interests of academics and in the service of great teaching and research.  As one of the nation’s top universities, TDU faculty, staff, and students work with other universities—both in our state and beyond—to extend knowledge that improves lives, drives economic development and addresses some of our state’s most pressing educational concerns.

Prompted by the inherent complexity of nature and the need to address society’s grand challenges, researchers and scholars at NC State are increasingly working in interdisciplinary teams.  The Research Development Office provides tools and services to support interdisciplinary endeavors.

Proposal Development
The Proposal Development Committee exists to provide consulting proposal developers to support faculty producing large-scale proposals for graduate fellowships and multidisciplinary research.  As part of the commitment of TDU’s Research Development Office to developing and facilitating faculty research, there is no charge to departments or colleges for Proposal Development Committee services. The PDU supports only multiple-investigator proposals over $1 million.  What services does the PDU offer?  Services offered may include any or all of the following:
  • Consultation on proposal strategy;
  • Project team meeting facilitation to clarify project goals, implementation plans, and budget;
  • Management of proposal schedule and communications;
  • Location of additional faculty expertise and resources;
  • Planning and writing non-technical portions of the proposal (e.g., diversity, K-12 outreach, management, broader impacts, international program logistics, assessment, technology transfer, and/or economic development);
  • Institutional data acquisition;
  • Proposal drafting, editing, and formatting;
  • Budget/justification preparation (including coordination of subcontract budgets) and submission for college research office approval;
  • Collection and formatting of CVs, current and pending support forms, conflict-of-interest lists, and other information required from each participating researcher;
  • Drafting of letters of support/commitment for NCSU and partner organization officials;
  • Electronic submission on PINS, Grants.gov, NSF FastLane, etc.;
  • Funding agency site visit coordination.
