Research Starts Here: Better research begins with better connections

Promotional graphic displaying the message: 'Better Research Begins with Better Connections' in bold white and gold text on a black background.

Research Starts Here is a weekly campaign from the Office of Research introducing faculty to the people, services, workshops and tools available throughout the research life cycle.

This week, the campaign highlights the connections that help faculty move their research forward — from finding collaborators and building interdisciplinary teams to navigating research administration and connecting with the right expertise.

Faculty can learn more about resources across the Office of Research, including Strategic Interdisciplinary Research (SIR), the Life Sciences Innovation and Collaboration Network (LINC), Purdue Excellence in Research Administration (PERA), and many other teams working to support Purdue researchers.

Explore the Resources for Researchers webpage, learn how they work together and use the Office of Research’s support form to connect with the right support.

Great research rarely happens in isolation. Whether you’re looking for a collaborator, exploring an interdisciplinary idea or simply trying to figure out who at Purdue can help move your research forward, the right connection can make all the difference.
