COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: E-CORE RII: THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INITIATIVE FOR THE VERMONT ECONOMY -THIS PROJECT AIMS TO BUILD AN INCLUSIVE RESEARCH ECOSYSTEM TO SERVE AS A CORNERSTONE OF THE VERMONT ECONOMY. PROJECT GOALS ARE TO ESTABLISH ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT TO BUILD AND SUSTAIN A DIVERSE, INTEGRATED SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (S&T) RESEARCH ECOSYSTEM IN SOUTHERN VERMONT. ADDITIONALLY, THE PROJECT SEEKS TO BROADEN THE PARTICIPATION OF UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN S&T RESEARCH AND EMPLOYMENT. THROUGH THE PROJECT'S RESPONSIVENESS TO THE S&T NEEDS OF VERMONT, THE JURISDICTION HAS POTENTIAL TO INCREASE ITS S&T RESEARCH AND EMPLOYMENT; HAVE A STRONGLY EDUCATED S&T POPULATION; POSITION THE COMMUNITY TO UNDERSTAND VARIOUS ASPECTS OF S&T RESEARCH AND ITS ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY; AND INCREASE PARTICIPATION OF UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN S&T RESEARCH INCLUDING NEURODIVERGENT, FIRST-GENERATION, LOW-INCOME, AND MULTILINGUAL STUDENTS. THE PROJECT WILL BUILD S&T RESEARCH CAPACITY THROUGH TRAINING, INCREASING RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES, AND CREATING NEW S&T JOBS. IT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO EXPANDING THE S&T WORKFORCE LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY. THE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INITIATIVE FOR THE VERMONT ECONOMY (STRIVE) IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN LANDMARK COLLEGE (LEAD INSTITUTION), BENNINGTON COLLEGE, AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF VERMONT. STRIVE WILL EXAMINE HOW AN EQUITABLE RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE CAN CATALYZE THE CIVIC VALUE OF SCIENCE IN UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION AND RURAL ECONOMIES. THE PROJECT WILL INVEST IN ACHIEVING A HOLISTIC, JURISDICTION-WIDE RESEARCH ECOSYSTEM ATTUNED TO THE NEEDS OF VERMONT WHILE MONITORING THE IMPACT THEY HAVE ON STEM PARTICIPATION AT AN INSTITUTIONAL, COMMUNITY, AND JURISDICTIONAL WIDE LEVEL. INVESTMENTS WILL BROADEN PARTICIPATION IN S&T DRIVEN RESEARCH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND BRIDGE LONGSTANDING S&T RESEARCH DIVIDES IN THE STATE. STRIVE WILL INVEST IN THE FOLLOWING RESEARCH ADMINISTRATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE: RESEARCH ADMINISTRATORS, RESEARCH SCHOLARS, AND IMPROVEMENTS TO A RESEARCH FARM; EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES; S&T RESEARCH GRANTS; PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT; AND OUTREACH ACTIVITIES. STRIVE WILL ENGAGE S&T RESEARCH ENTITIES WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM. THIS WILL LEAD TO COMMUNITY-RESPONSIVE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WILL LEVERAGE STRIVE?S INVESTMENTS TO SECURE FUNDING FOR S&T RESEARCH EXPANSION IN VERMONT. THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE EPSCOR RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: EPSCOR COLLABORATIONS FOR OPTIMIZING RESEARCH ECOSYSTEMS (E-CORE). E-CORE SUPPORTS JURISDICTIONS IN STRENGTHENING THEIR JURISDICTION-WIDE RESEARCH ECOSYSTEMS THROUGH FOSTERING INTERCONNECTED NETWORKS, BUILDING RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE, AND GROWING RESEARCH CAPACITY AND COMPETITIVENESS ALIGNED WITH JURISDICTIONAL PRIORITIES. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: E-RISE: THE VERMONT PER-AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH NETWORK -THE VERMONT PFAS ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH NETWORK (PERN) IS A COLLABORATIVE PROJECT AIMED AT ENHANCING KNOWLEDGE OF PER- AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS), ALSO KNOWN AS FOREVER CHEMICALS?. PERN WILL ADDRESS NATIONALLY RELEVANT RESEARCH PRIORITIES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW PFAS MOVE FROM CONTAMINANT SOURCES TO AFFECT HEALTH AND ECOSYSTEMS. PERN WILL FOSTER SYNERGIES BETWEEN ACADEMIA (BENNINGTON COLLEGE, COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF VERMONT, LANDMARK COLLEGE, MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), STATE AGENCIES (VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION, VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND VERMONT AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY), COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND STAKEHOLDERS TO TRANSFORM THE RESEARCH CAPACITY IN VERMONT. PERN WILL GENERATE ACTIONABLE, INTERDISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PFAS CONTAMINATION WHILE STRENGTHENING VERMONT?S STEM CAPACITY BY ENGAGING GEOLOGISTS, BIOLOGISTS, ENGINEERS, DATA SCIENTISTS, AND SOCIAL SCIENTISTS. THE NETWORK?S RESEARCH WILL 1) CHARACTERIZE THE DISTRIBUTION AND MOVEMENT OF PFAS FROM CONTAMINATION SOURCES THROUGH ECOSYSTEMS, INCLUDING GROUNDWATER, SURFACE WATER, SOILS, VEGETATION, AND FAUNA. 2) EXPLORE MECHANISMS BY WHICH PFAS MAY INFLUENCE HUMAN HEALTH, 3) IDENTIFY IMPACTS TO AFFECTED COMMUNITIES, AND 4) GENERATE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA AND MODELLING TOOLS THAT WILL INFORM CITIZENS AND AID STATE AGENCIES? ACTIVITIES. PERN WILL INCREASE VERMONT?S STEM EDUCATION CAPACITY BY ESTABLISHING AN ANNUAL THREE-WEEK VERMONT ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD SCHOOL FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS TO PROVIDE HANDS-ON TRAINING IN PFAS STUDY DESIGN, FIELD SAMPLING, AND DATA ANALYSIS THROUGH PROJECTS AT PERN?S RESEARCH SITES. THE NETWORK WILL BUILD JURISDICTIONAL RESEARCH CAPACITY BY ENHANCING THE VERMONT AGRICULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES, THEREBY ENABLING THEM TO ANALYZE PROJECT SAMPLES AND EXPAND THEIR CAPACITY TO SERVE OTHER USERS. THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE EPSCOR RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: EPSCOR RESEARCH INCUBATORS FOR STEM EXCELLENCE (E-RISE). E-RISE SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPACITY IN EPSCOR JURISDICTIONS THROUGH COLLABORATIVE, HYPOTHESIS-DRIVEN, OR PROBLEM-DRIVEN RESEARCH AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TO IMPROVE COMPETITIVENESS IN SELECTED STEM FIELDS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
