Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Arthropod Management Technologies

节肢动物管理技术I/UCRC计划资助；肯塔基大学；1238087；拟议中的节肢动物管理技术中心（CAMTech）将通过正式和扩展的研究伙伴关系，简化和连接工业界和学术界的努力，以有效管理节肢动物害虫。研究工作将由爱荷华州立大学（ISU）作为牵头机构，与肯塔基大学（UKY）合作。该中心由爱荷华州立大学和肯塔基大学组成，将作为新技术的孵化器。CAMTech将为工业应用研究目标提供必要的基础研究基础，并将扩展当前节肢动物管理实践的实用性。一个由26名教师组成的跨学科团队与英国研究人员组成，扩展和补充了国际滑联研究人员的技能和专业知识。CAMTech的目标将是：(i)开展竞争前研究并将知识转移给行业合作伙伴以进行内部开发，（ii）优化和扩展当前技术的多功能性，以及（iii）为未来可能在行业内就业的本科生和研究生以及博士后学者提供培训。研究人员组成的多元化团队将提供与节肢动物管理相关的基础系统知识，包括半足类害虫的管理知识，使中心成员能够从基础研究中获得价值，并扩大现有方法的效用。该中心的学生和博士后研究人员将在ISU和UKY接受优秀的专业发展培训。中心的学员，包括少数民族和代表性不足的群体，将来自不同的背景。研究成果将在国际上传播。该中心的建立将加强工业界和学术界之间的伙伴关系，实现共同的目标，并将通过技术转让产生更广泛的重大影响。社会将直接受益于新型节肢动物管理技术的快速发展和训练有素的工业岗位人员。

Planning Grant for an I/UCRC for Arthropod Management Technologies 1237997 Iowa State University; Byrony Bonning 1238087 University of Kentucky; Subba Palli The proposed Center for Arthropod Management Technologies (CAMTech) will streamline and link the efforts of industry and academia toward effective management of arthropod pests through a formalized and extended research partnership. The research efforts will be anchored by Iowa State University (ISU) as the lead institution, partnered with the University of Kentucky (UKY). The proposed Center comprised of Iowa State University and the University of Kentucky will serve as an incubator for novel technologies. CAMTech will provide the basic research foundation necessary for the applied research goals of industry and will extend the utility of current arthropod management practices. An interdisciplinary team of 26 faculty members has been assembled with UK researchers extending and complementing the skills and expertise of ISU researchers. The goals of CAMTech will be to (i) conduct pre-competitive research and transfer knowledge to industrial partners for in house development, (ii) optimize and extend the versatility of current technologies, and (iii) train undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral scholars for potential future employment within industry. The diverse team of researchers will provide knowledge of fundamental systems relevant to arthropod management, including those of hemipteran pests, allowing Center members to derive value from fundamental research and to expand the utility of current approaches. Students and postdoctoral researchers within the proposed Center will receive outstanding professional development training at both ISU and UKY. Center trainees, including minorities and underrepresented groups, will be drawn from diverse backgrounds. Research findings will be disseminated internationally. Establishment of this Center will enhance the partnerships between industry and academia toward a common goal, and will have a significant broader impact through technology transfer. Society will benefit directly from the expedited development of novel arthropod management technologies and from well trained personnel for industrial positions.
