Multi-Institutional
Collaboration Assistance

Scientist Expertise

An interactive spreadsheet of research faculty in SAAESD member institutions, other 1862 institutions in states bordering the southern region, and all 1890 institutions.  The database is updated annually using Field of Science and Subject of Investigation information in CRIS.

This spreadsheet will assist administrators in locating particular faculty expertise in other institutions that might complement their own faculty through collaboration, shared positions, providing missing expertise, or some other form of multi-institutional cooperation.

Outlying Research Stations

An interactive map of all SAAESD member institutions’ outlying research stations and searchable database on research activities at those stations.  The database may be searched for research activities at a specific station or for all stations with research activity on a particular commodity (ie. all stations with research on cotton, dairy cattle, peanuts, etc.).  Contact information for each station and a link to its web site is also available.

This database will facilitate collaborations in field research activities across states to increase efficiency and broaden applicability of results.
