How It Works

The Partnership will help link scientists and engineers in partnerships across academia and support research collaboration by:

Enabling researchers, North and South to apply for support, to travel to the United States in order to develop proposals.
Facilitating single integrated proposal submissions prepared by US, Ireland and Northern Ireland researchers through funding programmes operated by the funding agencies in each jurisdiction.
