This is a collaborative project across the following institutions: Angelo State University (TX), Richard Bland College of William & Mary (VA), Independence Community College (KS), and Longwood University (VA). The Raising Rural Economic Development & Innovation (RREDI) pilot seeks to explore how higher-ed based innovation hubs can effectively address socio-economic underdevelopment in rural areas by harnessing local resources and leveraging a multi-state cohort model. This project is important because rural communities in the United States have experienced significantly higher levels of poverty, unemployment, and food insecurity since 2008 compared to other areas in the United States and these communities must find innovative solutions for solving these challenges given the current social and economic climate. The RREDI cohort aims to collaborate with one another to leverage and position their rural regions for socio-economic development through strategic academic and industry partnerships. The framework of Project RREDI's approach is: ‘Collaboration Inside’ + ‘Collaboration Outside’ = ‘Economic Development’. The higher education institutional partners will build collaborations within their rurally located institutions and with industry partners to foster economic development in their regions. The goal is to create innovation clusters (via the hubs) for the purpose of harnessing local, regional, and cohort resources that will generate socio-economic growth.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.

这是一个跨以下机构的合作项目：安吉洛州立大学(德克萨斯州)、理查德·布兰德威廉玛丽学院(VA)、独立社区学院(KS)和朗伍德大学(VA)。提升农村经济发展与创新(RREDI)试点旨在探索以高等教育为基础的创新中心如何通过利用当地资源和利用多州队列模式有效地解决农村地区的社会经济欠发达问题。该项目之所以重要，是因为自2008年以来，与美国其他地区相比，美国农村社区经历了明显更高的贫困、失业和粮食不安全水平，考虑到当前的社会和经济环境，这些社区必须找到解决这些挑战的创新解决方案。RREDI的目标是相互协作，通过战略性的学术和行业伙伴关系，为农村地区的社会经济发展发挥杠杆作用和定位。RREDI项目的方法框架是：‘内部协作’+‘外部协作’=‘经济发展’。高等教育机构合作伙伴将在其农村地区的机构内建立合作，并与行业合作伙伴建立合作，以促进其区域的经济发展。其目标是(通过中心)创建创新集群，以利用将产生社会经济增长的地方、地区和群体资源。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
