SCC-IRG Track 1: Strengthening Resilience of Ojibwe Nations Across Generations (STRONG)

气候变化加剧了对美国各地许多美洲原住民民族生计和福祉的现有威胁。此外，入侵物种、采矿和开发对为土著人民提供食物、水和文化安全的重要生态系统的影响越来越大。与部落合作伙伴合作，这个智能互联社区综合研究资助（SCC-IRG）旨在了解增强的数据访问，可用性和可用性如何增强社区的弹性。该项目通过传统知识框架融合了社会科学，数据科学，环境科学和计算机工程，以确定土著社区的复原力和主权之间的关键联系。部署具有先进传感技术的网络基础设施有助于展示如何将多模型社会生态数据结合到可操作的复原力框架中。因此，为具有重要文化意义的植物和动物创造了适应气候的新途径，并指导发展计划，以尽量减少不利影响。这个由部落驱动的项目采用传统知识框架，综合传统知识和科学知识，在三个领域推进复原力研究的创新：1）环境科学：该项目部署了最先进的野生鼠尾草边缘传感平台和微型无电池能量收集传感器，以持续测量水和生态系统状况，并评估气候变化，采矿污染物，石油/天然气管道故障治理：该项目评估通过传统知识框架产生的科学知识如何影响部落规划和治理的影响，方法是共同制定和评价文化上适当的复原力指标，以预测、应对和减轻急性和慢性社会生态扰动; 3）社区影响：该项目共同开发和部署了Noondawind，这是一个动态的综合网络基础设施平台，将不同的最终用户与STRONG数据和分析联系起来，以研究数据访问如何加强部落主权和复原力。该项目通过使研究产品更好地满足社区确定的需求，并使不同的最终用户更容易获得网络基础设施，旨在展示数据如何在建设治理能力和加强部落间在共同的环境、经济、政治、社会和文化领域的协调方面发挥核心作用。和良好的社会-该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的知识优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。

Climate change exacerbates existing threats to the livelihoods and well-being of many Native American nations across the United States. Additionally, the effects of invasive species, mining, and development have been increasing on critical ecosystems that provide food, water, and cultural security for Indigenous Peoples. Working with tribal partners, this Smart and Connected Communities Integrative Research Grant (SCC-IRG) seeks to understand how enhanced data access, availability, and usability can strengthen community resilience. The project converges social science, data science, environmental science, and computer engineering through a traditional knowledge framework to identify key links between resilience and sovereignty of Indigenous communities. Deployment of cyberinfrastructure with advanced sensing technologies helps demonstrate how multi-model socio-ecological data can be combined into actionable resilience frameworks. As the result, new pathways of climate adaptation are created for culturally significant plants and animals, as well as guiding development plans to minimize adverse impacts. This tribally driven project adopts a traditional knowledge framework to synthesize traditional and scientific knowledge to advance innovations in resilience research in three areas: 1) Environmental Science: the project deploys state-of-the-art Wild Sage edge-enabled sensing platforms and tiny battery-free energy-harvesting sensors to continuously measure water and ecosystems conditions, and to assess the effects of climate change, mining contaminants, and oil/gas pipeline failures on manoomin (wild rice) and associated wetland ecosystems; 2) Governance: the project assesses the effects of how scientific knowledge generated through a traditional knowledge framework impacts tribal planning and governance by co-producing and evaluating culturally appropriate resilience indicators for anticipating, responding to, and mitigating acute and chronic socio-ecological perturbations; and 3) Community Impact: the project co-develops and deploys Noondawind, a dynamic, integrated cyberinfrastructure platform that connects diverse end-users with STRONG data and analyses to examine how access to data strengthens tribal sovereignty and resilience. By making research products more responsive to community-identified needs and enhancing accessibility of cyberinfrastructure for diverse end-users, this project aims to demonstrate how data can play a central role in building governance capacity and strengthening intertribal coordination on common environmental, economic, political, and social well-being priorities.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.
