The Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA) is established through a Cooperative Agreement between the National Science Foundation and the University Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP). This newly formed ERVA organization will serve to identify and develop bold and societally impactful new engineering research directions and thereby catalyze the engineering research community’s pursuit of innovative, high-impact research. The ERVA will seek, obtain and integrate input from all stakeholders with interest in engineering research, including academia, industry, professional societies, government agencies, and the public. Robust, multi-modal communications will fuel consistent, effective, bidirectional flow of information across the engineering research stakeholder community to ensure broad input and impact. Through its activities, the ERVA will strengthen connectivity across diverse stakeholders and increase coordination among engineering disciplinary communities. The ERVA ideation and visioning engine will drive new initiatives that advance the frontiers of engineering and science to maximize potential for economic growth, national security and societal benefit and strengthen U.S. leadership in the technology-based global economy.The newly formed ERVA is a partnership of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA), the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR)/Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Foundation (EIF), and the University Industry Demonstration Partnership. The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) is ERVA’s Affiliate Partner. Leveraging this expansive cross-sector partnership network, the ERVA will establish a national, independent, agile engine to CONVENE an inclusive representation of academic, corporate, community, professional society, and public stakeholders; IDEATE and articulate bold new engineering research visions; CATALYZE development of new programs, policies, and models of connectivity, together with investments that address critical national and global challenges; COMMUNICATE findings, directions, and opportunities to diverse stakeholders; and EVALUATE the outcomes and impacts of its work. Professional contractors will be engaged to optimize communication and evaluation strategies and outcomes. The ERVA seeks to foster a diverse, inclusive and engaged engineering community committed to realizing societal needs through collaborative and convergent research, technology innovations, and community engagement.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.

工程研究愿景联盟（ERVA）是通过国家科学基金会和大学产业示范合作伙伴关系（UIDP）之间的合作协议建立的。这个新成立的ERVA组织将致力于确定和开发大胆的、具有社会影响力的新工程研究方向，从而促进工程研究界对创新、高影响力研究的追求。ERVA将寻求，获得和整合所有利益相关者对工程研究感兴趣的投入，包括学术界，工业界，专业协会，政府机构和公众。强大的多模式通信将推动工程研究利益相关者社区之间一致，有效，双向的信息流动，以确保广泛的投入和影响。通过其活动，ERVA将加强不同利益相关者之间的联系，并加强工程学科社区之间的协调。ERVA的构想和愿景引擎将推动新的举措，推进工程和科学的前沿，以最大限度地提高经济增长，国家安全和社会效益的潜力，并加强美国在以技术为基础的全球经济中的领导地位。新成立的ERVA是十大学术联盟（BTAA），建立计划，以刺激竞争性研究（EPSCoR）/机构发展奖（IDEA）基金会（EIF），和大学产业示范合作伙伴关系。美国工程教育协会（ASEE）是ERVA的附属合作伙伴。利用这一广泛的跨部门合作伙伴关系网络，ERVA将建立一个全国性的，独立的，敏捷的引擎，以促进学术界，企业，社区，专业协会和公共利益相关者的包容性代表; IDEATE并阐明大胆的新工程研究愿景;促进新计划，政策和连接模型的开发，以及应对关键国家和全球挑战的投资;向不同的利益相关者传达调查结果、方向和机会;并说明其工作的成果和影响。将聘用专业承包人，以优化沟通和评价战略及成果。ERVA旨在通过合作和融合研究、技术创新和社区参与，培养一个多元化、包容和参与的工程社区，致力于实现社会需求。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
