Augmenting and facilitating applied environmental research at Collège Boréal

博兰斯达学院是一所法语高等教育机构，由于我们与行业合作伙伴和自然科学与工程研究委员会（NSERC）的合作，我们最近在应用研究方面取得了许多成功。主要的成功是我们的环境科学研究团队所进行的研究项目。学院有两个环境科学专业，这是第一个获得并完成NSERC的应用研究与开发项目：(a)鱼类和野生动物管理，(b)林业和野生动物管理。因此，教师们对自己执行应用研究的能力有了信心，环境科学学院的行业合作伙伴也就未来的项目与他们接洽，以更好地满足他们的需求。目前申请的目的是定位学院，以便他们可以容纳和执行三个新项目，以便他们的行业合作伙伴达到他们的应用研究目标并满足他们的客户。在国家科学研究委员会的支持下，一个全职的行政职位将被整合，不仅希望执行目前研究计划中的计划，而且希望在2016年秋季起草一份竞争性的五年IE补助金申请。此外，经费将拨给一名研究技术员和三名学生研究助理的非全时职位。最后，资金将用于确保应用研究经理和研究人员可以出差获得专业发展机会，并促进学院的研究活动。目前的建议是试图证明从入门级工业工程补助金计划中获得的资金分配是合理的。

Collège Boréal is a francophone postsecondary institution that has celebrated many recent applied research successes due to our partnerships with industry partners and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). Chiefly among the successes are the research projects conducted by our Environmental Science research team. The college has two Environmental Science programs, which were the first to obtain and complete NSERC's Applied Research and Development program: (a) fish and wildlife management, and (b) forestry and wildlife management. As a result, faculty members have gained confidence in their ability to execute applied research and industry partners from the Environmental Sciences have approached them about future projects to better address their needs. The intent within the present application is to position the college so that they may accommodate and execute three new projects so that their industry partners reach their applied research objectives and satisfy their clients. With the support of NSERC, one full-time administrative position will be integrated with hopes of not only executing the plan in the present research proposal but also draft a competitive application for a Five-Year IE grant in the fall of 2016. Further, funds will be allocated towards a part-time position for one research technician and three student research assistants. Lastly, funds will be used to ensure that the applied research manager and researchers may travel for professional development opportunities and to promote the college's research activities. The present proposal is an attempt to justify the allocation of funds derived from the Entry-Level IE grant program.
