The Planning Grants for Engineering Research Centers competition was run as a pilot solicitation within the ERC program. Planning grants are not required as part of the full ERC competition, but intended to build capacity among teams to plan for convergent, center-scale engineering research.The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimates that the ocean economy can add up to $1.5 trillion of value to the global economy by 2030, doubling their 2010 levels. The data sets that our envisioned ERC can produce can help policy and decision-making through a more thorough assessment of the impact of human activity and economic development on the coastal environment. The technology that can be developed can enable faster, safer, and more effective emergency response, and search-and-rescue operations. Specifically for the activities of this planning grant, we believe that they can contribute uniquely to workforce development, by offering a unique opportunity to participating students across institutions for inspiring, hands-on applied field work, as well as for networking and mentoring with academic, industry, and community leaders.Coastal communities are heavily dependent and reliant on the nearby complex and dynamic marine geo-eco systems, whose extent, structure, interactions, and function are not fully understood. What is more, estuarine and coastal regions in the US currently face multiple additional marine spatial planning issues and challenges, including the effects of episodic storms, climate change, and other stressors. Obtaining scientific insights on the morphology and evolution of these natural multi-scale dynamical systems, and how they are influenced by human activity, will help assess the impact of long-term coastal and offshore development projects. It will also enable us to facilitate a more timely, coordinated, and effective response to natural and man-made emergencies and disasters. The envisioned RECON ERC is intended to help create the science to understand the underlying processes; develop the technology to efficiently and accurately observe, measure and record the associated phenomena; engage with industry to transition the technology to the field and innovate with new products and services; partner with local government to help them effectively leverage the technology and serve their communities; reach out to the communities to understand better their perspective and problems, and give them a more complete picture of how automation technology and engineering can contribute to their solution; and finally, educate the new generation of leaders and practitioners who will field, maintain, and grow this new technology-driven industry segment.This project is jointly funded by the Engineering Education and Centers (EEC) Division and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.

工程研究中心竞赛的计划赠款是在ERC计划中作为试点招标进行的。作为全面ERC竞争的一部分，不需要计划赠款，但旨在在团队之间建立能力，以计划融合，中心规模的工程研究。经济合作与发展组织（OECD）估计，海洋经济可以在2030年增加到全球经济的价值1.5万亿美元，使其2010年的水平增加一倍。我们设想的ERC可以生产的数据集可以通过对人类活动和经济发展对沿海环境的影响进行更彻底的评估来帮助政策和决策。可以开发的技术可以使更快，更安全，更有效的应急响应以及搜索操作更快。 Specifically for the activities of this planning grant, we believe that they can contribute uniquely to workforce development, by offering a unique opportunity to participating students across institutions for inspiring, hands-on applied field work, as well as for networking and mentoring with academic, industry, and community leaders.Coastal communities are heavily dependent and reliant on the nearby complex and dynamic marine geo-eco systems, whose extent, structure, interactions, and function are not fully understood.此外，美国目前在美国的河口和沿海地区面临多个海洋空间规划问题和挑战，包括情节风暴，气候变化和其他压力源的影响。获得对这些自然多尺度动力学系统的形态和演变的科学见解，以及它们如何受到人类活动的影响，将有助于评估长期沿海和近海发展项目的影响。这也将使我们能够促进对自然和人造的紧急情况和灾难的更及时，协调一致的反应。所设想的侦察活动旨在帮助创建科学以了解基本过程。开发技术以有效，准确地观察，测量和记录相关现象；与行业互动以将技术转移到该领域，并通过新产品和服务进行创新；与地方政府合作，帮助他们有效利用技术并为社区服务；与社区联系以更好地了解他们的观点和问题，并为他们提供更完整的了解自动化技术和工程如何为他们的解决方案做出贡献；最后，教育新一代的领导者和从业人员，他们将在技术驱动的行业领域进行领域，维护和发展和发展这一项目。该项目由工程教育和中心（EEC）部门（EEC）部门（EEC）部门（EEC）和既定的计划（EEC）刺激竞争研究（EPSCOR）（EPSCOR）进行。该奖项通过审查的法律范围来反映出范围的范围。
