Planning Grant: I/UCRC for Arthropod Management Technologies

节肢动物管理技术I/UCRC规划补助金1237997爱荷华州立大学；拜罗尼·邦宁1238087肯塔基大学；Subba Palli拟议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，简化和联系工业界和学术界的努力，以有效地管理节肢动物害虫。这项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)合作开展。拟议中的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，并将扩大当前节肢动物管理实践的效用。一个由26名教职员工组成的跨学科团队已经与英国研究人员组成，扩展和补充了ISU研究人员的技能和专长。CAMTech的目标将是(I)进行竞争前的研究，并将知识转移给行业合作伙伴进行内部开发，(Ii)优化和扩展现有技术的多功能性，以及(Iii)为未来在行业内潜在的就业培训本科生和研究生以及博士后学者。多元化的研究团队将提供与节肢动物管理相关的基本系统知识，包括半翅目害虫的基本系统，使中心成员能够从基础研究中获得价值，并扩大现有方法的实用性。拟建中心内的学生和博士后研究人员将在ISU和UKY接受出色的专业发展培训。中心受训人员，包括少数族裔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产业界和学术界之间朝着共同目标的伙伴关系，并将通过技术转让产生重大的更广泛的影响。社会将直接受益于新节肢动物管理技术的加速发展和工业岗位上训练有素的人员。

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.
