Planning for NSF EPSCoR in Alaska

EPS 9980876 George HappThis项目为阿拉斯加州提供规划补助金，旨在帮助阿拉斯加州确定改善该州基础科学和工程研究基础设施的优先事项。 阿拉斯加的目标是加强目标学科的研究设施和专业知识，加强对科学和工程学生的培训和教育，并加大力度促进该州大学向阿拉斯加私营和公共部门的技术转让。 规划过程将涉及五个领域，包括：1）评估阿拉斯加现有的研究基础设施; 2）确定阿拉斯加新兴的卓越研究领域; 3）确定改善阿拉斯加研究基础设施的障碍; 4）建立国家科学和工程研究的优先事项; 5）建立一个十年计划，以满足阿拉斯加的科学和工程需求。 预计规划阶段的最后阶段将是编写一份提交给国家科学基金会的研究基础设施实施提案。

EPS 9980876George HappThis project provides support to the state of Alaska for a planning grant designed to help Alaska set priorities for the improvement of the basic science and engineering research infrastructure in the state. Alaska's goal is to strengthen research facilities and expertise in targeted disciplines, enhance training and education for students in science and engineering, and increase efforts to promote transfer of technology from the state's universities to Alaska's private and public sectors. The planning process will address five areas, including: 1) assessment of Alaska's existing research infrastructure; 2) identification of Alaska's emerging areas of research excellence; 3) identification of the barriers to improving Alaska's research infrastructure; 4) establishment of state priorities for science and engineering research; and 5) establishment of a ten year plan to address Alaska's science and engineering needs. The planning phase is expected to culminate in preparation of a research infrastructure implemenation proposal to the National Science Foundation.
