0227899Calzonetti This award is to the University of Toledo to support the activity described below for 24 months. The proposal was submitted in response to the Partnerships for Innovation Program Solicitation (NSF 02060).The partners include the University of Toledo (Lead Institution), Bowling Green University, Owens Community College, IQ Systems, First Solar, Cooltech, Dana Corporation, General Motors Corporation, Owens-Corning, Pilkington, Center for Technology Commercialization, EISC, Inc, Regional Technology Alliance, NASA Glenn, Regional Growth Partnership, City of Toledo, COSI-Toledo, and Toledo Zoo.The activities of the program include the following: (1) improvements in the technical skills of the workforce by design of the technical programs at Owens Community College in the area of alternative energies, (2) participation of African American and Hispanic students from the Toledo EXCEL Program, (3) promotion of related industrial and business development through support provided by the Regional Growth Partnership and the Regional Technology Alliance, (4) increased public awareness of alternative energy systems, (5) development of statewide support through the Ohio Alternative Energy Development Council, (6) transfer of alternative energy research and technology from the University of Toledo and Bowling Green University to the partner companies.The program will increase academic research on alternative energy systems, develop the energy systems technologies, make innovations in manufacturing of these systems, develop the workforce for these companies, increase the participation of underrepresented populations in alternative energy systems technology, improve the environment from responsible manufacturing and less-polluting energy systems, and promote regional cluster development and increased investment in alternative energy technology.The region of northwest Ohio is in a state of economic depression. The proposed effort will provide new technologies, new companies, and new jobs. The creation of new jobs will have a significant impact on the region, which currently has a high unemployment. Involvement of underrepresented groups in alternative energy technology has obvious societal implications. In addition, lowered energy costs and environmental improvements from less-polluting energy will have societal benefits.

该奖项授予托莱多大学，以支持以下24个月的活动。该提案是根据创新伙伴关系计划征求（NSF 02060）提交的。合作伙伴包括托莱多大学（领导机构）、鲍灵格林大学、欧文斯社区学院、IQ系统、第一太阳能、Cooltech、达纳公司、通用汽车公司、欧文斯-康宁、皮尔金顿、技术商业化中心、EISC公司、区域技术联盟、NASA格伦、区域增长伙伴关系、托莱多市、cosi -托莱多和托莱多动物园。该计划的活动包括：(1)通过设计欧文斯社区学院在替代能源领域的技术课程，提高劳动力的技术技能；(2)托莱多EXCEL项目的非裔美国人和西班牙裔学生的参与；(3)通过区域增长伙伴关系和区域技术联盟提供的支持，促进相关工业和商业发展；(4)提高公众对替代能源系统的认识；(5)通过俄亥俄州替代能源发展委员会发展全州范围的支持；(6)将托莱多大学和鲍灵格林大学的替代能源研究和技术转移给合作公司。该计划将增加对替代能源系统的学术研究，开发能源系统技术，在这些系统的制造方面进行创新，为这些公司发展劳动力，增加未被充分代表的人口对替代能源系统技术的参与，通过负责任的制造和低污染的能源系统改善环境，促进区域集群发展，增加对替代能源技术的投资。俄亥俄州西北部地区正处于经济萧条状态。拟议中的努力将提供新技术、新公司和新的就业机会。创造新的就业机会将对该地区产生重大影响，该地区目前失业率很高。让代表性不足的群体参与替代能源技术具有明显的社会意义。此外，能源成本的降低和低污染能源带来的环境改善将带来社会效益。
