Open partnership opportunities

North Carolina state agencies are increasingly interested in collaborating with external partners to answer questions that inform decision making and improve policy and programmatic functions. The NC Office of Strategic Partnerships (OSP) helps develop, launch, and enhance these cross-sector partnerships. Learn more below about some open opportunities.

OSP created the NC Project Portal to share opportunities for partnering with state agencies on their research needs and for people to express interest in pursuing those opportunities. Have a question about partnerships? Visit our FAQ page.
