This research program ensures continuity with successful past partnership projects including community climate change adaption work funded by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Columbia Basin Climate Source web application funded by the Columbia Basin Trust, wildfire fuel remote-sensing analysis funded by NSERC and new technology and climate event adaptation in the forestry, hydro-power and mining sectors funded by industry fee-for-service. While the economic, climate action, social innovation, and evidence-based decision-making aspects of Selkirk Innovates' research program are well-developed, the health, reconciliation and inclusion themes have been emerging. NSERC funding through Mobilize and CCSIF streams will be key to ensuring these areas continue to mature. Our approach has proven effective in building diverse teams focused on addressing partner challenges. We offer quality work-integrated learning experiences through our established internship program. Our strong community and industry partnerships, coupled with talented, diverse research teams, and over $2.5M in specialized equipment, uniquely positions Selkirk Innovates to advance rural resilience in the Kootenay Development Region of BC. Over the next five years, our students, faculty and partner teams will apply technology solutions and social innovation approaches to address our most pressing challenges.

该研究计划确保了与过去成功的合作伙伴关系项目的连续性，包括由加拿大自然资源联合会资助的社区气候变化适应工作，由哥伦比亚盆地信托基金资助的哥伦比亚盆地气候源网络应用程序，由NSERC资助的野火燃料遥感分析，以及由行业收费服务资助的林业，水力发电和采矿部门的新技术和气候事件适应。虽然塞尔柯克创新的研究计划的经济，气候行动，社会创新和基于证据的决策方面是发达的，健康，和解和包容的主题已经出现。NSERC通过Mobilize和CCSIF流提供的资金将是确保这些领域继续成熟的关键。事实证明，我们的方法在建立专注于解决合作伙伴挑战的多元化团队方面非常有效。我们通过既定的实习计划提供高质量的工作整合学习体验。我们强大的社区和行业合作伙伴关系，再加上有才华的，多样化的研究团队，以及超过250万美元的专用设备，独特的定位塞尔柯克创新，以提高农村的复原力在库特奈发展区的BC。在接下来的五年里，我们的学生，教师和合作伙伴团队将应用技术解决方案和社会创新方法来解决我们最紧迫的挑战。
