Within SFI, Aisling has been central to facilitating a number of major co-funded collaborative partnerships. In addition, Aisling has managed programmes for senior investigators and early/mid-career researchers, as well as partnership programmes with international funding agencies having managed the US-Ireland R&D Partnership programme and specifically developing the Centre-to-Centre strand of the programme together with NSF and NI partners.
