项目摘要
Sustainably managing Earth's physical resources and natural systems for food, energy, and water (FEW) resources is of critical importance for society now and into the future. Recent decades have seen the emergence of food-energy-water nexus research that seeks to understand the interconnections and interdependencies associated with these resources. Although progress has been made in this regard, quantification efforts are needed to integrate the built environment and human values into FEW research. The objective of this research is to provide explicit consideration of critical infrastructure and stakeholder values in quantification efforts to further understand FEW environmental sustainability. The integrated research and educational plan builds the foundation for the investigator's long-term career goal to cultivate and grow a transdisciplinary research laboratory that catalyzes cross-cutting efforts to elucidate complex interactions across critical infrastructure, developing predictive understanding and offering solutions to food, energy, and water management.The specific aims of this research are to: develop inter-infrastructural datasets and network-theoretic models to quantify FEW supply chain sustainability through connected critical infrastructure (CI) and use environmental ethics frameworks to deploy values-informed mental models that will develop understandings on socio-ethical implications of FEW-CI sustainability. The project will develop fundamental theory surrounding FEW nexus sustainability by filling several gaps in prior scholarship and advance the state of knowledge regarding: i) how multilayer FEW-CI networks behave under conditions of environmental sustainability, ii) how accounting for critical infrastructure influences FEW quantification efforts, and iii) how stakeholder values alter FEW modeling and resource management for sustainable systems. Additionally, the investigator's Education plan, integrated with the research plan through the theme of ethics, will offer undergraduate and graduate students career-strengthening opportunities through international engagement, provide engineering ethics teaching resources for the University and beyond, and engage with policymakers to ensure that research outcomes are relevant to achieving societal goals. The intellectual merit of the educational plan is grounded in theory on best practices for ethics education across STEM disciplines. Finally, the combination of data from FEW-CI open sources, theory-based socio-experimental designs, and assessment and advice from leaders in multiple fields will allow the investigator to build capacity for developing and deploying transdisciplinary convergent research in environmental sustainability, forming the basis to launch her 5- and 10-year career goals. The research and educational activities will contribute to the following seven societal outcomes: full participation of women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities in STEM; improved STEM education and educator development; increased public scientific literacy and public engagement with science and technology; development of a diverse, globally competitive STEM workforce; increased partnerships between academia, industry, and others; improved national security; and enhanced infrastructure for research and education. Highlighting three of the activities that contribute to these outcomes, the PI will: implement a study abroad program in Vietnam and Singapore for undergraduate and graduate students from underrepresented groups, furthering equity and career readiness of participants; develop engineering ethics modules that directly contribute to accreditation requirements; and organize virtual workshops to engage policymakers in research and educational outcomes. Assessment and evaluation will occur through a distinguished advisory board of senior faculty from multiple institutions as well as consultations with an expert in educational pedagogy.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.
可持续地管理地球的物质资源和粮食、能源和水 (FEW) 资源的自然系统对于现在和未来的社会至关重要。近几十年来,出现了食品-能源-水关系研究,旨在了解与这些资源相关的相互联系和相互依赖关系。尽管在这方面已经取得了进展,但仍需要进行量化努力,将建筑环境和人类价值观纳入 FEW 研究。本研究的目的是在量化工作中明确考虑关键基础设施和利益相关者的价值观,以进一步了解 FEW 环境的可持续性。综合研究和教育计划为研究者的长期职业目标奠定了基础,即培养和发展跨学科研究实验室,促进跨领域的努力,阐明关键基础设施之间的复杂相互作用,发展预测性理解并为食品、能源、这项研究的具体目标是:开发基础设施间数据集和网络理论模型,通过连接关键基础设施 (CI) 量化 FEW 供应链可持续性,并使用环境伦理框架来部署基于价值观的心理模型将加深对 FEW-CI 可持续性的社会伦理影响的理解。该项目将通过填补先前学术中的几个空白来开发围绕 FEW 关系可持续性的基础理论,并推进以下方面的知识水平:i)多层 FEW-CI 网络在环境可持续性条件下如何表现,ii)关键基础设施如何影响 FEW 量化努力,以及 iii) 利益相关者的价值观如何改变可持续系统的 FEW 建模和资源管理。此外,研究者的教育计划通过伦理学主题与研究计划相结合,将通过国际参与为本科生和研究生提供职业强化机会,为大学及其他领域提供工程伦理学教学资源,并与政策制定者合作,以确保研究成果与实现社会目标相关。该教育计划的智力价值建立在跨 STEM 学科道德教育最佳实践的理论基础上。最后,来自 FEW-CI 开源数据、基于理论的社会实验设计以及来自多个领域领导者的评估和建议的结合将使研究人员能够建立在环境可持续性方面开发和部署跨学科融合研究的能力,形成为启动她的 5 年和 10 年职业目标奠定了基础。研究和教育活动将有助于实现以下七项社会成果:妇女、残疾人和代表性不足的少数群体充分参与 STEM;改善 STEM 教育和教育工作者发展;提高公众科学素养和公众对科学技术的参与;培养多元化、具有全球竞争力的 STEM 劳动力队伍;加强学术界、工业界和其他方面之间的伙伴关系;改善国家安全;加强研究和教育基础设施。 PI 强调了有助于取得这些成果的三项活动: 在越南和新加坡为来自代表性不足群体的本科生和研究生实施出国留学计划,促进参与者的公平和职业准备;开发直接有助于认证要求的工程道德模块;并组织虚拟研讨会,让政策制定者参与研究和教育成果。评估和评估将通过来自多个机构的高级教师组成的杰出顾问委员会以及与教育教育学专家的协商进行。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命,并通过利用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响进行评估,被认为值得支持审查标准。
