Mobilize: Strategic Initiatives for Sustained Growth in Research

弗莱明学院位于安大略省中部的中心地带，在彼得伯勒、林赛、科堡和哈里伯顿都有校区。弗莱明已经建立了一个应用研究中心（水和废水技术发展中心（CAWT），这是一个长期运行且成功的NSERC技术获取中心），以及两个新的中心（创新水产养殖生产中心（CIAP）和机电一体化和工业物联网发展中心（CAMIIT）），希望跟随CAWT的脚步。NSERC动员基金的建议用途与弗莱明学院的优先事项一致（如其最近的战略计划所示），导致以下三个目标：1)增长和维持三个研究中心的研究活动，2)扩大新领域的研究能力，3)通过培训改善合作伙伴，员工和学生的经验。动员将使弗莱明学院不仅保持并超越其目前的研究活动速度，而且还通过实施新的培训和业务发展举措，将学院的应用研究项目提升到一个新的水平，以确保研究项目的持续成功和长期可持续性，同时也为弗莱明学院的应用研究新领域提供开花的机会。这笔资金将为弗莱明学院提供机会，通过新的研究技能计划（RSP）、新的公平、多样性和包容性（EDI）培训以及研究伦理和数据管理培训，改善其研究人员和学生的体验。由于研究人员直接与学生、合作伙伴和社区接触，这种培训对于改善和保持与学院研究项目最重要的人的积极工作关系至关重要。

Located in the heart of Central Ontario, Fleming College has campus locations in Peterborough, Lindsay, Cobourg, and Haliburton.Fleming has an established applied research centre (the Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technologies (CAWT), a long-running and successful NSERC Technology Access Centre), and two new centres (the Centre for Innovative Aquaculture Production (CIAP) and the Centre for Advancement in Mechatronics and Industrial Internet of Things (CAMIIT)) looking to follow in the CAWT's footsteps. The proposed use of the NSERC Mobilize funding has been aligned with Fleming College's priorities (as expressed in its most recent Strategic Plan), leading to the following three goals for Mobilize: 1) Grow and maintain the research activity in the three research centres, 2) Expand research capacity in new areas, and 3) Improve the experience of partners, staff, and students through training.Mobilize will allow Fleming College to not only maintain and then surpass its current rate of research activity, but also take the college's applied research program to the next level by putting into place new training and business development initiatives to ensure the ongoing success and long-term sustainability of the research program while also providing opportunities for new areas of applied research at Fleming to bloom.The funding will afford Fleming College the opportunity to make positive changes that will improve the experiences of its research staff and students through the new Research Skills Program (RSP), new Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) training, and research ethics and data management training. As researchers are directly involved with students, partners, and communities, this training is paramount to improving and maintaining positive working relationships with those most important to the college's research program.
