30 Research Collaborative Successes and Challenges Successes Scalability not required but transferability is key An adaptable model that can fit different themes and funding sources May incorporate courses or be extra-curricular Challenges Ongoing work of finding funds from grants, partners, or donors including alums. Students are our best ambassadors! Convincing faculty in some areas that this kind of collaborative model is worthwhile. Planning to partner with UMaine Humanities Center to develop the model for the Humanities. Funding for infrastructure harder to obtain than project funding.
