Narrative:
I contacted grand forks ground and requested a stage ii departure to the southwest. I was instructed by ground to taxi to 17L, turn right to 200 degree upon reaching 2100 ft, and squawk XXXX. Takeoff was uneventful and tower told me to contact departure. I was at approximately 1700 ft MSL. Departure instructed me to resume my own navigation upon reaching 2300 ft. After reaching 2100 ft I turned right again to a heading of 240 degree to intercept the 219 degree radial to jamestown, nd. While climbing on a 240 degree heading for 4500 ft MSL, I was advised by departure that I had traffic, an medium large transport, at my 3 O'clock position. At the time I was alerted I saw at my 3 O'clock, or slightly ahead, an medium large transport already airborne after taking off of 17R (parallel runway) and climbing in my direction at an alarming rate. I reported seeing the traffic and initially began a hard right turn but stopped because my turn did not appear to be a good idea, instead I continued climbing straight ahead, hoping the medium large transport would be able to observe me. The medium large transport passed directly below me with approximately 500 ft between us. I believe this near miss occurred because of poor controller coordination of aircraft.

Title: SMA GIVEN STAGE II DEP, HAS CONFLICT WITH MLG DEPARTING JUST AFTER.
Narrative: I CONTACTED GRAND FORKS GND AND REQUESTED A STAGE II DEP TO THE SW. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY GND TO TAXI TO 17L, TURN R TO 200 DEG UPON REACHING 2100 FT, AND SQUAWK XXXX. TKOF WAS UNEVENTFUL AND TWR TOLD ME TO CONTACT DEP. I WAS AT APPROX 1700 FT MSL. DEP INSTRUCTED ME TO RESUME MY OWN NAV UPON REACHING 2300 FT. AFTER REACHING 2100 FT I TURNED R AGAIN TO A HDG OF 240 DEG TO INTERCEPT THE 219 DEG RADIAL TO JAMESTOWN, ND. WHILE CLBING ON A 240 DEG HDG FOR 4500 FT MSL, I WAS ADVISED BY DEP THAT I HAD TFC, AN MLG, AT MY 3 O'CLOCK POS. AT THE TIME I WAS ALERTED I SAW AT MY 3 O'CLOCK, OR SLIGHTLY AHEAD, AN MLG ALREADY AIRBORNE AFTER TAKING OFF OF 17R (PARALLEL RWY) AND CLBING IN MY DIRECTION AT AN ALARMING RATE. I RPTED SEEING THE TFC AND INITIALLY BEGAN A HARD R TURN BUT STOPPED BECAUSE MY TURN DID NOT APPEAR TO BE A GOOD IDEA, INSTEAD I CONTINUED CLBING STRAIGHT AHEAD, HOPING THE MLG WOULD BE ABLE TO OBSERVE ME. THE MLG PASSED DIRECTLY BELOW ME WITH APPROX 500 FT BTWN US. I BELIEVE THIS NEAR MISS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF POOR CTLR COORD OF ACFT.
