Collaborative Research: EPIIC: Expanding Team Capacity for High Impact and New Growth (ETCHING) Cohort

这是一个跨以下机构的合作项目：哥伦布州立社区学院（CSCC）和奥农达加社区学院（OCC）。 这两个学院共享的区域环境已经看到了通过新兴产业振兴前工业地区，目前正在进行的大批量先进制造和半导体行业的最新发展的具体协同作用。这两个地区新兴产业的增长将成为劳动力的催化剂，CSCC和OCC旨在增加研究和培训机会，以满足行业需求，更好地服务于社区。CSCC和OCC在寻找合格和可用的教师方面存在差距，与其他四年制和两年制机构合作，需要更深入地与雇主合作伙伴合作，并希望提高与新兴技术相一致的资源开发能力。队列目标将为区域创新生态系统建立合作伙伴关系，以创造更多样化的劳动力，以满足人才需求。该队列将扩大每个学院的研究开发能力，并帮助具有类似目标的其他机构寻求新的机会，更好地参与大规模合作。活动包括建立一个扩大的伙伴关系模式，使行业参与，制定一个基准的伙伴关系模式，教师共享，建立在驻地模式，行业教师共享，并提高能力，参与赠款倡议的更大规模的伙伴关系。该群体将成为赠款发展伙伴关系的资源，重点是增加对新兴途径的服务不足的参与。注重公平的战略将纳入整个设计过程，并指导如何让不同人群参与。通过该项目，该团队将为其他面临类似挑战和需求的机构制定蓝图，以有效地参与其区域创新生态系统，以促进新兴技术的发展。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。

This is a collaborative project across the following institutions: Columbus State Community College (CSCC) and Onondaga Community College (OCC). The two colleges share regional environments that have seen a revitalization of former industrial regions through new emerging industries, with specific synergy currently underway in high-volume advanced manufacturing and recent developments in the semiconductor industry. The growth of emerging industries in both regions will be a workforce catalyst, and CSCC and OCC aim to increase research and training opportunities to address industry needs and better serve their communities. CSCC and OCC share gaps in finding qualified and available faculty, in collaborating with other four- and two-year institutions, in the need to engage employer partners more deeply, and in a desire to increase capacity for resource development aligned to emerging technologies.The cohort goals will grow partnerships for the regional innovation ecosystem to create a more diverse workforce to meet the talent demand. The cohort will expand the research development capacity of each college and help other institutions with similar goals to pursue new opportunities and better engage in large-scale collaborations. Activities include creating an expanded partnership model for engaging industry, developing a benchmark partnership model for instructor sharing, creating in-residence models for industry instructor sharing, and increasing capacity to engage in grant initiatives for larger scale partnerships. The cohort will become a resource for grant development partnerships that focus on increasing underserved participation in emerging pathways. Equity-focused strategies will be incorporated throughout the design and guide how diverse populations are engaged. Through this project, the cohort will develop a blueprint for other institutions with similar challenges and needs to effectively engage with their regional innovation ecosystem to in emerging technology.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.
