The statewide NSF EPSCoR Track 1 Research Infrastructure Improvement (RII) award for Idaho Community-engaged Resilience for Energy-Water Systems (I-CREWS) invites applications for two programs:
Community Integrated Programs (CIP) supports the development of courses co-created around community-identified priorities, to address energy-water systems issues. CIPs engage learners across disciplines (e.g., STEM, policy, and law), knowledge systems (e.g., local and Indigenous knowledge, academic knowledge), and bridge between the community and academic institutions.
Vertically Integrated Programs (VIP) is an intentional curricular infrastructure that establishes an on-ramp for students and provides a range of training, mentoring and professional development support to both students and faculty. Funding supports faculty in developing new VIP courses connected to I-CREWS research areas.
Amount
Up to $10,000 in direct-costs.
Priority Deadline
