Collaborative Research: EPIIC: Cultivating Innovation and Research Capacity for Life Sustaining Emerging Technologies (CIRCLET)

这是以下机构之间的合作项目：夏威夷社区学院、南内华达学院和北马里亚纳学院。虽然不断发展的伙伴关系是高等教育研究和发展努力的一个重要方面，但合作机构经历了许多情况，即建立了非正式伙伴关系，但由于缺乏活动、缺乏适当的沟通和管理来维持长期关系而受到损害。合作机构致力于通过与农业技术、农林业和环境科学领域的利益相关者发展机会，建立更牢固的伙伴关系，以培养熟练劳动力，改善各自地区的经济健康状况。合作院校将通过协议和合作伙伴在各自院校内的直接参与，发展正式和可持续的伙伴关系；通过设定定期会议和短期和长期目标，提供专门的人员配置，确保与合作伙伴进行有意义的接触，确保有意义的关系和切实的成果；并通过客户关系管理（CRM）应用程序的开发，确保正确跟踪和记录合作伙伴之间的关系和项目。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。

This is a collaborative project between the following institutions: Hawaii Community College, College of Southern Nevada, and Northern Marianas College. While growing partnerships is a crucial aspect higher education research and development efforts, the collaborating institutions have experienced numerous situations where informal partnerships are developed only to be compromised by inactivity, lack of proper communications and management to sustain long term relationships. The collaborating institutions are committed to establish stronger partnerships by developing opportunities with stakeholders in AgTech, Agroforestry and Environmental Science for the development of skilled workforce and improve the economic health of their respective regions.The collaborating institutions will develop formalized and sustainable partnerships via agreements and the direct participation of partners within their respective institutions; provide dedicated staffing to ensure meaningful engagement with partners by setting regular meetings and short-term and long-term goals that ensures meaningful relationships and tangible outcomes; and ensure proper tracking of partnership projects via development of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications that ensure relationships and projects between partnerships are properly tracked and recorded.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.
