This Regional Innovation Engines Development Award is focused on developing an electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem within the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. MAGNET (Mississippi Alabama Georgia Network for Electric Vehicle Technologies) will focus on growing research, economic development, and workforce development for EVs in a synergistic way so that growth of each component influences the growth of the other two components in a virtuous cycle. The entire world is urgently focused on decarbonization to resolve the climate crisis, and the speed of transformation is beginning to generate many disparate efforts to respond in green transportation generally, and in EV technologies specifically. Automobile companies are all transitioning from internal combustion engine production to EV production before the consumer market is ready for the transition. Coalescence is the key to achieving order from this chaos and achieving sufficient unity of purpose to make the largest and fastest industrial transition in history. MAGNET is about collaboration and coalescence within our service area to achieve ordered and effective growth within the region, and to serve as a model and influencer for the broader coalescence needed on a national and international basis.MAGNET will attract stakeholders within the EV industry as coalition partners: industry, universities, government organizations, economic development organizations, social services organizations, and workforce development organizations - to collaborate on building the EV ecosystem for the greater good of the region. This coalition will provide specific measurable concerns which MAGNET will translate into use-inspired research and development initiatives. Through this collaborative approach, industry, academia, and government will benefit from the research results which will either be integrated back into an existing industry or incubated into a new industry to support the overall health of the EV industry in the region. Workforce development will happen similarly - by bringing workforce development providers and industry together - listening and translating from needs to action by developing credentials that truly meet the needs of EV industry. The expansion of the EV production in the region will create opportunities in traditionally underserved communities to expand both existing and new industries that are part of the EV ecosystem. The Development Award will provide support for building the team to prepare for the Engine, launching a strategic planning process, conducting engagement to increase stakeholder participation, and providing credibility to attract partners to the effort.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.

该区域创新引擎发展奖的重点是在亚拉巴马、格鲁吉亚和密西西比州内开发电动汽车（EV）生态系统。 MAGNET（密西西比亚拉巴马格鲁吉亚电动汽车技术网络）将以协同的方式专注于电动汽车的研究、经济发展和劳动力发展，以便每个组成部分的增长都会影响其他两个组成部分的增长，形成良性循环。 整个世界都迫切关注脱碳以解决气候危机，转型的速度开始产生许多不同的努力来应对绿色交通，特别是电动汽车技术。 汽车公司都在从内燃机生产过渡到电动汽车生产之前，消费市场已经准备好过渡。 联合是从混乱中获得秩序的关键，也是实现目标充分统一的关键，从而实现历史上最大、最快的工业转型。 MAGNET致力于在我们的服务领域内进行合作和整合，以实现区域内有序和有效的增长，并成为国家和国际范围内更广泛的整合的典范和影响者。MAGNET将吸引电动汽车行业的利益相关者作为联盟合作伙伴：工业、大学、政府组织、经济发展组织、社会服务组织，和劳动力发展组织-合作建立电动汽车生态系统，为该地区带来更大的利益。 这一联盟将提出具体的可衡量的问题，MAGNET将把这些问题转化为以使用为灵感的研究和发展倡议。 通过这种合作方式，工业界，学术界和政府将受益于研究成果，这些研究成果将被整合回现有行业或孵化成新行业，以支持该地区电动汽车行业的整体健康发展。劳动力发展将以类似的方式进行-将劳动力发展提供商和行业聚集在一起-通过开发真正满足电动汽车行业需求的证书，倾听并将需求转化为行动。 该地区电动汽车生产的扩大将为传统上服务不足的社区创造机会，以扩大作为电动汽车生态系统一部分的现有和新产业。开发奖将为建立团队以准备发动机、启动战略规划流程、开展参与以增加利益相关者的参与以及提供可信度以吸引合作伙伴参与工作提供支持。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。
