Step $1$: Create Collaborator Profiles Using Generative AIUtilize the generative AI$,$ perplexity.aiLinks to an external site. to develop comprehensive profiles for potential collaborators. Have AI identify and research six, real$-$world $($make sure to double check!$)$ potential institutions$/$organizations $($e$.$g$.$ World Wildlife Foundation, Arizona State University, or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service$)$ who could collaborate on your proposed research project. $($Does the Presence of supplemental protein change the reproductive success of white$-$tailed deer?$)$ Focus on collaborators who can bring different expertise, resources, or perspectives to your project, enhancing its scope and impact. Ensure your potential collaborators encompass representatives from each category below:$$ Two private sector collaborators $($Purina Mills and Whitetail Institute$)$ Two university collaborators $($Texas A&M University $-$Kingsville$)$ Two nonprofit collaborators $($Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research Institute The Quality Deer Management Association$)$Each profile should include:$$ Institution$/$Researcher Name$$ Link to Institution$/$Researcher website$$ Background and Expertise: Brief overview of their research interests and previous collaborations.$$ Motivation for Collaboration: Clearly articulate why this institution or researcher is a suitable match for your project. What drives their interest in your research hypothesis?$$ Resource Commitment: Detail any financial support, in$-$kind contributions, or other resources they may be willing to commit. This could include lab space, personnel, equipment, or direct funding.$$ Cost Sharing Details: Specify how much money they are willing to cost$-$share or any other economic arrangements pertinent to the collaboration. Step $2$: Submission RequirementsSubmit a one$-$page document with the following:$1.$ One paragraph summary with the above information for two private sector collaborators$2.$ One paragraph summary with the above information for two university collaborators$3.$ One paragraph summary with the above information for two nonprofit collaborators$4.$ Choose one collaborator from each group: For each group, choose the one collaborator you would like to incorporate into your NSF grant proposals$\mathrm{.}5.$ Reflection: In one$-$page or less discuss how the chosen collaborations could enhance your research outcomes. Consider aspects such as increased credibility, broader impact, diversified knowledge, and improved resource availability$\mathrm{.}6.$ Supporting Resources: Make sure to provide the links to the collaborator websites in APA format and support your reflection section with at least one peer$-$reviewed journal article.RubricCollaborations RubricCollaborations RubricCriteriaRatingsPtsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeSelection of CollaboratorsAdequately identifies two collaborators from each required sector $($private$,$ university, nonprofit$),$ and provides links to and citations for each$\mathrm{.}13$ ptsThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeCompleteness of ProfilesEach collaborator profile includes all required information: Institution$/$Researcher Name, Link, Background and Expertise.
