January – March 2011
Summary
The UK-US Collaboration Development Award programme – Ocean Acidification laid the groundwork for 16 new joint projects between UK and US researchers. Five collaborations have already started. One visit led to plans for an institution-wide memorandum of understanding on collaboration between two world-leading marine research centres. The CDA programme also resulted in concrete plans for six grant proposals to US, EU and UK funding sources. Three joint publications are already in preparation with another two in the planning stages. Two groups have exchanged data sets, and two groups are exchanging samples. Other benefits include an invitation to a UK expert to participate in a US research cruise. Two institutions are planning to set up a summer course for UK students as well as two joint PhD projects.
