Planning: Idaho EPSCoR RII Track-1 Planning Grant

该规划提案由爱达荷大学董事会提交，旨在支持协调和规划，以确定现有的研究基础设施，额外的未来能力和基础设施需求，一个有说服力的逻辑模型，以及一个强有力的合作计划，这些都是制定一个有价值的RII Track-1项目所必需的。批准的研究课题与爱达荷州科学技术计划中的三个高影响力研究领域直接一致：能源系统，自然资源利用和保护，系统工程和网络安全。这项规划拨款申请预计将导致一个有价值的项目，该项目将加强和发展能源-水安全和恢复力方面的变革性科学。该小组计划了一系列会议和（或）讲习班，以讨论规划轨道1提案所涉及的不同活动。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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。

This planning proposal, submitted by Regents of the University of Idaho is directed to support the coordination and planning for identification of existing research infrastructure, additional future capacity and infrastructure needs, a cogent logic model, and a robust collaboration plan that are necessary to formulate a meritorious RII Track-1 project on energy water security and resilience. The approved research topic is directly aligned with three of Idaho’s high impact research areas from the Science and Technology Plan: Energy Systems, Natural Resource Utilization and Conservation, Systems Engineering and Cybersecurity.This request for a planning grant is expected to lead to a meritorious project that enhances and develops transformative science in energy-water security and resilience. The team has planned a series of meetings and/or workshops in order to address the different activities involved in the planning of the Track-1 proposal.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.
