The primary focus
of the Office of International Development is to facilitate collaborative
research projects by providing technical support and assisting faculty
and graduate students interested in implementing multi-disciplinary international
development projects.
Since its inception,
OID has worked with faculty members and graduate students in areas including:
• Identifying the
experience, strengths, capacity, and interests that exist within MSU
and its faculty and marketing them to bring new international development
project opportunities to MSU
• Identifying promising
opportunities and facilitating effective responses through multi-disciplinary
collaborations across MSU's academic colleges
• Researching information
on prospective funding sources and project opportunities
• Highlighting MSU's
strengths in the international development arena to the large donor
pool of foundations, corporations, and government agencies and developing
partnerships with private, public and non-profit organizations around
the world
• Providing technical
guidance and assistance to MSU departments in the preparation of proposals
to international donor organizations
• Compiling and
editing proposals
• Maintaining an
internal database of MSU faculty with international expertise and those
engaged in international research
• Working with
Alumni Relations to build a broader network of contacts living abroad
