Its members are North Carolina State University (NCSU), the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), the University of Surrey (UOS) and the University of Wollongong (UOW). The UGPN is now accepting proposals for the 2018 UGPN Research Collaboration Fund (RCF), which is the seventh cycle of this program. The RCF has been set-up to support international activities leading to high quality research collaborations between researchers at UGPN partner institutions. Funding will be awarded on the basis of strategic benefit and scholarly merit of proposals along with availability of resources. Proposals should involve substantive engagement that is expected to lead to high quality outputs, such as international research training for graduate students or early career faculty, publication of joint papers from collaborative research or joint research bids to external funding agencies. We strongly encourage visiting staff to engage with the postgraduate curriculum at the host university and to specify this in the proposal. This can include teaching on postgraduate programmes, guest lectures, joint supervision or development of collaborative programmes.
