This is a collaborative project across the following institutions: Champlain College, Christopher Newport University, and Western Oregon University. The Enabling Partnerships to Increase Innovation Capacity Award is focused on building the capacity of three Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) to sustainably increase the number of partnerships to drive workforce development and research projects between faculty and students, industry, and Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs). The project cohort is collaborating to learn, share, and apply the expertise needed to move toward a model for developing and maintaining external partnerships. The geographical distribution of the cohort allows for broadened participation in emerging-technology innovation ecosystems in three regions of the continental U.S.: Mid-Atlantic, New England, and Pacific Northwest. Their capacity-building efforts will increase the number of undergraduate students who engage in hands-on learning and career preparation opportunities as part of the college experience (e.g., internships, industry research) in the emerging technology industries being targeted, which include Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Biotechnology.The cohort institutions will collectively identify best practices from other successful model institutions, share learned expertise, and create and expand upon a centralized organizational structure at each institution. Additionally, they will organize and pilot industry partnerships to find sustainable partnership models and work to improve the infrastructure necessary to apply for further funding to sustain these efforts beyond the timeframe of the project. Each of the institutions will provide workforce development and foster future regional economic prosperity by creating intentional educational opportunities for their community members and generate a system of shared opportunities between academic institutions and industry. By leveraging existing support programs, this project will also create new opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, including students with historically underrepresented identities in STEM fields (e.g., first generation, minority populations, women, and nontraditional age students). The cohort will disseminate and share best practices and models for establishing and maintaining partnerships with other PUIs and IHEs, with the intent of helping them strengthen their capacity for sustainable industry and research partnerships, improve workforce pipelines in emerging technology fields, and increase involvement in local technology ecosystems.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.

这是一个在以下机构中的合作项目：尚普兰学院，克里斯托弗·纽波特大学和西俄勒冈大学。 能够提高创新能力奖的促成伙伴关系的重点是建立三个主要是本科机构（PUI）的能力，以可持续增加伙伴关系的数量，以推动劳动力发展和教职员工，工业，行业，高等教育机构（IHES）之间的劳动力发展和研究项目。该项目队列正在合作学习，分享和运用朝着建立和维护外部伙伴关系的模型所需的专业知识。该队列的地理分布允许扩大美国大陆上三个地区的新兴技术创新生态系统的参与：中大西洋，新英格兰和西北太平洋地区。他们的能力建设努力将增加从事动手学习和职业准备机会的本科生的数量，这是作为大学经验的一部分（例如，实习，实习，行业研究）的一部分，包括数据科学，人工智能和生物技术，包括数据科学，人工技术和生物技术机构将在其他成功的实践中，并在其他成功的范围内建立了一家成功的模型机构，并将其建立在其他模型机构中，并建立了一家份额，并在其他方面建立了一项群体，并在其他模型机构中建立了一家，并将一家分享的工具，并在其他方面建立了一项群体，并将一家分享的工具，并在其他领域中建立了一家，并将其建立在其他方面的范围。 机构。此外，他们还将组织和试点行业的合作伙伴关系，以找到可持续的合作伙伴关系模型，并努力改善所需的基础设施，以申请进一步的资金，以维持这些项目超出该项目的时间范围。每个机构将通过为其社区成员创造故意的教育机会，并在学术机构和行业之间创造共同的机会系统，从而提供劳动力发展并促进未来的地区经济繁荣。通过利用现有的支持计划，该项目还将为来自不同背景的学生创造新的机会，其中包括在STEM领域（例如，第一代，少数族裔，妇女和非传统年龄的学生）中代表性不足的学生。该队列将分发并分享与其他PUI和IHES建立和维持伙伴关系的最佳实践和模型，以帮助他们增强其在可持续行业和研究合作伙伴关系的能力，改善新兴技术领域的劳动力方案，并通过对本地技术生态系统进行评估，并以NSF的构建为基础。更广泛的影响审查标准。
