The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $399,935 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to Minnesota State University Mankato. The grant, entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: EPIIC: BUILDING INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY FOR EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIPS," aims to help the university and three other primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs) and emerging research institutions (ERIs) build their capacity to develop external technology partnerships and support their regional innovation ecosystems.

The key objectives of the 3-year project are to: a) establish operational policies and structures to enable efficient external partnering, b) provide professional development to faculty and staff to enhance their partnership capabilities, and c) conduct partner engagement activities to strategically manage and evolve partnerships over time. The project seeks to codify the strategies, practices, and lessons learned from this collaborative effort, which will be disseminated through publications, workshops, and a toolkit for other PUI/ERI institutions to utilize. This work is expected to increase the number and quality of external partnerships, secure additional funding and resources, and grow programs in workforce development, research, and technology translation.
