Augmenting and facilitating applied environmental research at Collège Boréal

博莱尔学院是一所讲法语的专上学院，由于我们与行业合作伙伴和自然科学与工程研究理事会(NSERC)的合作伙伴关系，该学院最近庆祝了许多应用研究的成功。其中最成功的是我们的环境科学研究团队进行的研究项目。该学院有两个环境科学项目，这两个项目是第一个获得并完成NSERC的应用研究和开发项目：(A)鱼类和野生动物管理，以及(B)林业和野生动物管理。因此，教职员工对他们进行应用研究的能力有了信心，环境科学的行业合作伙伴已经就未来的项目与他们接洽，以更好地满足他们的需求。本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NSERC的支持下，将整合一个全职行政职位，希望不仅执行当前研究提案中的计划，还将在2016年秋季起草一份为期五年的IE补助金的竞争性申请。此外，将为一名研究技术员和三名学生研究助理提供一个兼职职位。最后，资金将用于确保应用研究经理和研究人员可以为专业发展机会而旅行，并促进学院的研究活动。本提案是为了证明从初级IE赠款方案中获得的资金的分配是合理的。

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.
