This award provides $25K funding per year for three years for a PI and co-PI to provide staff support to a Roundtable on Technology, Science, and Peacebuilding. The roundtable will convene individuals from government, industry, and non- governmental organizations to identify opportunities for the use of science, engineering, and technology to enhance peacebuilding. The roundtable will facilitate a collaborative effort to address major challenges giving rise to global conflict and to apply appropriate science and engineering knowledge and technologies to specific problems in conflict zones.Broader Impacts: By applying science and engineering knowledge and technology to major issues that give rise to international conflict, such as natural resource scarcity, this award may have a significant impact. A sizeable portion of the world population lives in areas of conflict or potential conflict. The roundtable also provides an innovative model for education and outreach for the next generation science, engineering, and technology workforce.Intellectual Merit: The roundtable brings together experts in foreign policy, peacebuilding, business, and science, engineering, and technology research. This promotes understanding of the complex issues giving rise to global conflict and of potential strategies for addressing them. It also facilitates broad-based public-private partnerships that enhance the impact of NSF-funded research in addressing societal problems and promoting innovation.

该奖项每年为PI和co-PI提供25，000美元的资金，为期三年，为技术，科学和建设和平圆桌会议提供工作人员支持。 圆桌会议将召集来自政府、工业和非政府组织的个人，以确定利用科学、工程和技术加强和平建设的机会。该圆桌会议将促进合作努力，以应对引发全球冲突的重大挑战，并将适当的科学和工程知识和技术应用于冲突地区的具体问题。更广泛的影响：通过将科学和工程知识和技术应用于引发国际冲突的重大问题，如自然资源稀缺，该奖项可能产生重大影响。 世界人口中有相当一部分生活在冲突地区或潜在冲突地区。圆桌会议还为下一代科学、工程和技术劳动力的教育和推广提供了创新模式。智力优势：圆桌会议汇集了外交政策、和平建设、商业以及科学、工程和技术研究方面的专家。 这有助于了解引起全球冲突的复杂问题和解决这些问题的潜在战略。 它还促进了基础广泛的公私伙伴关系，增强了NSF资助的研究在解决社会问题和促进创新方面的影响。
