This award supports a research project that studies how to create adaptive knowledge infrastructures that will support and sustain research and management programs through environmental and sociotechnical transitions. The project will build knowledge to help address challenges in science policy and transition management and will provide management and policy recommendations that are applicable to creating adaptive knowledge infrastructures across disciplines and locales. The study explicitly engages with how researchers go beyond participation and play a role in initiating transformation. Looking to Scotland as an exemplar of a nation that is investing heavily in innovation and research for emerging low-carbon technologies will serve to provide a better understanding of how to support these transitions and develop appropriate science-policy measures in the US and globally.This research project will conduct a large-scale ethnographic case study and transition analysis of renewable energy research, innovation, and development. This project will take advantage of this unique historical juncture in which a nation builds a scientific infrastructure, providing an exemplar of a sustainability transition to a low-carbon sociotechnical imaginary; that is, an imagined form of social life reflected in the design and implementation of a national energy transition project. It will also develop theoretical frameworks for understanding scientific innovation and transformation through novel interdisciplinary engagement of STS and the field of sustainability transitions. Understanding how knowledge infrastructures change has been identified as one of the key research challenges for infrastructure studies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持一个研究项目，该项目研究如何创建适应性知识基础设施，通过环境和社会技术转型来支持和维持研究和管理项目。该项目将积累知识，帮助应对科学政策和转型管理方面的挑战，并将提供适用于创建跨学科和地区的适应性知识基础设施的管理和政策建议。该研究明确涉及研究人员如何超越参与并在发起变革中发挥作用。将苏格兰视为大力投资新兴低碳技术创新和研究的国家典范，将有助于更好地了解如何支持这些转型并在美国和全球制定适当的科学政策措施。研究项目将对可再生能源研究、创新和开发进行大规模的人种学案例研究和转型分析。该项目将利用国家建设科学基础设施这一独特的历史时刻，提供向低碳社会技术想象的可持续转型的范例；也就是说，国家能源转型项目的设计和实施所反映的一种想象的社会生活形式。它还将通过 STS 和可持续转型领域的新颖跨学科参与，开发理解科学创新和转型的理论框架。了解知识基础设施如何变化已被确定为基础设施研究的关键研究挑战之一。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
