The Sustainability Hub project is a transformative initiative that consolidates sustainability and well-being data from across Colorado into a single platform. This initiative fosters collaboration among community members, policy makers, and researchers, empowering users from diverse backgrounds to engage with and draw conclusions from the data. By making this data accessible in one place, the Hub facilitates evidence-based decision-making, leading to improved community well-being, economic prosperity, and environmental sustainability. The Hub is not just another data platform; it is an integral part of a researcher’s sharing pipeline for results, thereby promoting the progress of science. It moves beyond being a simple data warehouse, developing new connections between information in a process known as data democracy. For all users, this approach empowers them to "own" their data, maintain their information, contribute new research, and create new datasets, which in turn inform decisions affecting their well-being. For communities, the project is expected to enhance access to useful data and interactions, serving as a critical tool for the community's journey towards successful sustainability. The team believes that enhanced access to data and information about opportunities is critical to the promotion of just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive community development through education.The Sustainability Hub project is a transformative initiative executed by several teams working in parallel with the primary goal of developing an application that consolidates a wide range of sustainability and well-being data into a single, universally accessible platform. This platform is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, enabling users from diverse backgrounds to engage with the data effectively. A standout feature of the platform will be its conversational interface, similar to a chatbot, powered by advanced machine-learning techniques, allowing users to interact with the platform in a natural, conversational manner. This innovative approach enhances user experience and engagement with the platform. In addition to the development of the application, the project will focus on the collection and organization of data, employing techniques such as keyword search and data linking to make the data more understandable and interconnected, allowing users to find and explore related data easily. A key aspect of the project is its community-driven approach, with the design and development of the Sustainability Hub heavily influenced by the needs and requirements of the community it serves. The project team will conduct listening sessions across the state to gather community insights, needs, and requirements, which will then be used to inform the development of the platform. The potential contribution of the Sustainability Hub project is significant. By facilitating evidence-based decision-making, the project has the potential to improve community well-being, promote economic prosperity, and advance environmental sustainability. By making sustainability and well-being data accessible and understandable, the Sustainability Hub project aims to empower communities to make informed decisions that contribute to their prosperity and welfare.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.

可持续发展中心项目是一个变革性的倡议，将科罗拉多州各地的可持续发展和福祉数据整合到一个平台上。该计划促进了社区成员、政策制定者和研究人员之间的合作，使来自不同背景的用户能够参与并从数据中得出结论。通过在一个地方获取这些数据，该中心促进了基于证据的决策，从而改善了社区福祉、经济繁荣和环境可持续性。Hub不仅仅是另一个数据平台；它是研究人员成果共享管道的一个组成部分，从而促进了科学的进步。它超越了简单的数据仓库，在一个被称为数据民主的过程中开发了信息之间的新连接。对于所有用户来说，这种方法使他们能够“拥有”他们的数据，维护他们的信息，贡献新的研究，并创建新的数据集，从而为影响他们福祉的决策提供信息。对于社区而言，该项目有望增强对有用数据和互动的访问，成为社区成功实现可持续发展的关键工具。该团队认为，通过教育促进公正、公平、多样化和包容性的社区发展，加强对机会数据和信息的获取至关重要。可持续发展中心项目是一个由多个团队并行执行的变革性倡议，其主要目标是开发一个应用程序，将广泛的可持续发展和福祉数据整合到一个单一的、普遍可访问的平台上。该平台的设计是直观和用户友好的，使来自不同背景的用户能够有效地参与数据。该平台的一个突出特点将是它的会话界面，类似于聊天机器人，由先进的机器学习技术提供支持，允许用户以自然的对话方式与平台进行交互。这种创新的方法增强了用户体验和平台的参与度。除了开发应用程序外，该项目还将重点放在数据的收集和组织上，采用关键字搜索和数据链接等技术，使数据更加易于理解和相互关联，使用户能够轻松地找到和探索相关数据。该项目的一个关键方面是其以社区为导向的方法，可持续发展中心的设计和开发在很大程度上受到其所服务社区的需求和要求的影响。项目团队将在全州范围内举行倾听会议，以收集社区的见解、需求和要求，然后将这些信息用于平台的开发。可持续发展中心项目的潜在贡献是巨大的。通过促进基于证据的决策，该项目有可能改善社区福祉，促进经济繁荣，促进环境可持续性。通过使可持续发展和福祉数据易于获取和理解，可持续发展中心项目旨在使社区能够做出明智的决策，从而促进其繁荣和福祉。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。
