Finding Collaborators
Collaboration can improve your project proposals and offers the opportunity to increase your scholarly output. In addition, funders are increasingly requiring collaboration on externally funded projects. If you need help finding collaborators:
- Contact the Director of Grant Development for ideas and assistance
- Access GrantForward to identify potential research partners at SIUE and other member institutions. Please create an account if you currently do not have one. Contact us if assistance is needed.
- Participate in a speed networking event
- Contact SIUE Research Centers, which provide opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborative research:
- IRIS Center
- Laboratory for Applied Spatial Analysis: rapears@siue.edu
- Collaborative Research Opportunities
The Center for STEM Research, Education and Outreach
The SIUE Center for STEM Research, Education and Outreach is a collaborative enterprise among several SIUE academic units, local community colleges and school districts, regional offices of education, and the community at large. The Center’s mission is to develop, strengthen and promote STEM research, education and outreach in the region.
The NCERC at SIUE
The NCERC is a nationally recognized research center dedicated to the development and commercialization of biofuels, specialty chemicals and other renewable compounds. The NCERC’s fully functional dry grind pilot plant and laboratories are equipped with advanced biofuels capabilities including corn fractionation, pretreatment, and a fermentation suite with 5, 30, 150 and 1500L scale-up. Facilities are staffed by industry veterans with more than 100 years of collective experience in fermentation and biofuels production. This knowledgeable team has the flexibility and expertise to design and carry out projects in any region of the advanced biofuels or specialty chemicals space.
The Center for Predictive Analytics (C-PAN) at SIUE
Thanks to decades of advancements in computational technology, we live in an era where it is relatively easy to collect and store data. Yet, making sense of “Big Data” is not always a simple task. The Center for Predictive Analytics (C-PAN) is a university-wide research center that serves both the SIUE community and external partners by using and developing state-of-the-art data analysis, machine learning and data visualization techniques to mine complex data for meaningful insights and real-world applications. In addition to supporting the analytical needs of our faculty researchers and industry partners, the Center offers educational and training opportunities in data analytics and machine learning to SIUE students and regional workforce, supports student retention and intervention strategies at the campus level, and promotes the ethical use of data analytics and machine learning through workshops, seminars and conferences
