Work with Us
With expertise in research translation and resilience-oriented decision support, the ND-GAIN team is always open to discuss new opportunities to partner in research and product development. Aside from tool development and intervention case curation, ND-GAIN has partnered with sponsors to explore key research questions - such as identifying measurement for adaptive capacity drivers in data-scarce regions.
With each collaboration, ND-GAIN tailors its research team to meet the problem scope. For example, for the Global Urban Climate Assessment pilot, a team of faculty, post doctoral scholars, graduate students, and staff were assembled to address developing comparable data across global cities.
If you are interested in working together, please contact the ND-GAIN team at ndgain@nd.edu discuss collaborations.
