Research collaboration, clinical trials, industry partnerships, philanthropy and supporter giving — each with a clear front door and a person on the other side of it.
Bring a question, a cohort or a method. We co-design studies across our four themes and fourteen centres.
Start a conversationTell us the shape of the work and who you are. One email is enough to start.
We match you to the right centre, theme or office and talk through what is possible.
We put the terms in writing — scope, data, IP, governance and ethics where relevant.
You get a named point of contact in the faculty for the life of the partnership.
Every partnership at the Karoo Faculty has a named lead inside the institution. Our partnerships office is small on purpose: we would rather you knew exactly who to call than navigate a switchboard. The team coordinates research contracts, industry agreements, philanthropic giving and the supporter programme.
We work with funders from Wellcome to the Mastercard Foundation, industry partners in diagnostics and devices, and individual donors who fund scholarships, equipment and named research posts. The common thread is simple: the work has to matter for the people of the Karoo.
Philanthropic giving funds the parts of the faculty the state cannot reach — rural scholarships, research posts and specialist equipment for Tswelopele.
