Sustainable Prosperity through Research, Innovation, Novel Technology and Training (SPRINT2)

sprint是指快速前进：拟议的通过研究，创新，新技术和培训（SPRINT2）计划在南加州大学的可持续繁荣努力加强该地区的数字和信息技术研究队伍，为行业和社区合作伙伴进行时间紧迫的研究，并响应在加拿大和超越快速移动的需要，以制定解决方案，如公平，多样性，包容性和可访问性（EDIA），气候变化，以及日益数字化的世界中的未来工作。动员赠款的具体目标是：1）与以前代表性不足或在获得研究和创新方面面临障碍的社区和合作伙伴，特别是土著和新斯科舍黑人社区，进行更大的合作，2）建立必要的人力资源，以解决新斯科舍省的应用研究和熟练的研究人员的差距，和3）扩展和数字化学院目前的应用研究能力，以达到更多的合作伙伴，并成长为新的研究领域，如社会创新，数字健康，等等。补助金目标直接与学院的应用研究重点和机构战略方向相一致。SPRINT2研究计划建立在自然科学和工程的现有实力在南加州大学在地理信息学，工程技术，可持续能源，农业和环境以及海洋技术等领域。信息技术使这一专门知识有了新的应用。调动资金将允许更大的学生研究培训，更具包容性的研究，并在从清洁水和能源到安全和社会变革的创新项目上开展工作。为了实现这一目标，学院现有研究计划中的关键差距将通过以下方式得到解决：设立一名研究项目经理来支持跨学科项目，设立一名研究促进者来直接与社区就其研究需求进行联系，以及设立一名研究协调员来更好地管理研究数据和研究伦理。SPRINT 2计划的一个亮点是为大学教师和学生提供直接与行业和社区合作伙伴进行研究培训的新机会。

A sprint is a rapid move forward: the proposed Sustainable Prosperity through Research, Innovation, Novel Technology and Training (SPRINT2) program at NSCC endeavours to strengthen the region's digital and Information Technology research workforce, undertake time-critical research for industry and community partners, and respond to the need for rapid movement in Canada and beyond to develop solutions to such major challenges as Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA), Climate Change, and the Future of Work in an increasingly digital world.Specific objectives under the Mobilize grant are to: 1) Engage in greater collaboration with communities and partners that have previously been under-represented or faced barriers in access to research and innovation, notably Indigenous and Black Nova Scotian communities, 2) Establish the necessary human resources to address gaps in Nova Scotia's applied research and skilled research workforce, and 3) Extend and digitalize the college's current applied research capabilities to reach more partners and grow into new research areas such as Social Innovation, digital health, and beyond. The grant objectives align directly with the college's applied research priorities and institutional strategic direction. The SPRINT2 research program builds on existing strength in natural science and engineering at NSCC in areas such as geomatics, engineered technology, sustainable energy, agriculture and environment and ocean technology. Information technology opens this expertise to new applications. Mobilize funding will allow for far greater student research training, more inclusive research, and work on innovative projects ranging from clean water and energy to safety and social change. To achieve this, key gaps in the college's existing research program are addressed via the creation of a research project manager to support interdisciplinary projects, research facilitators to connect directly with communities on their research needs, and a research coordinator to better manage research data and research ethics. A highlight of the SPRINT2 program is new opportunities for college faculty and students to undertake research training working directly with industry and community partners.
