This is a collaborative project across the following institutions: Seattle University, Cal Poly Humboldt State University, St. Francis University, St. Mary’s University, and Utah Tech University. The EPIIC award is to establish an innovation ecosystem in a cohort-based model specifically designed for primarily undergraduate institutions (PUIs). The cohort comprises a diverse range of institutions with varying demographics, sizes, missions, and locations. The primary goals of this project are twofold: (1) to develop innovation capacity within the cohort institutions and (2) to collectively establish best practices and foster a community of innovation for PUIs. This regional ecosystem encompasses several rural institutions, many of which cater to low-income and first-generation students, while others have a significant representation of historically underrepresented students in STEM fields. The cohort is deeply committed to implementing institutional changes that expand access to career opportunities requiring advanced skills in their respective regions. The overarching aim is to cultivate a mutually beneficial relationship among the cohort members, empowering each institution to play an expanded role within the regional economy. The award's purpose is to establish a Symbiotic Collaboration for Regional Ecosystem (SCORE) cohort, which introduces an innovative approach to enhancing STEM innovation capacity. This approach stems from the cohort's undergraduate-focused mission and its strong emphasis on students and the communities they serve. The proposed project envisions a community-based approach, fostering the development of best practices in various aspects of innovation and partnerships, including workforce development, experiential learning, research and innovation, industry partnerships, investors, entrepreneurship, and regulatory issues. Operating as a community of practice, the cohort of primarily undergraduate institutions will collaborate, learn, and grow together while upholding the values of inclusive excellence as a central aspect of the project. The greatest collective impact the cohort will have will come from the increased capacity to serve the regions’ economic and community needs and to expand institutional capacity to provide access for students into an advanced, quickly evolving STEM workforce. A broader impact of this cohort-based learning community for innovation will result in infrastructure for innovation capacity, continued collaborations, enhancing innovation capacity for the STEM workforce, and developing models and best practices for PUIs nationwide.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：西雅图大学，加州帕利·洪堡州立大学，圣弗朗西斯大学，圣玛丽大学和犹他州科技大学。 EPIIC奖是在专门为初级本科机构（PUI）设计的基于队列的模型中建立创新生态系统。该队列包括各种人口，规模，任务和地点不同的机构。该项目的主要目标是双重的：（1）在队列机构内发展创新能力，（2）共同建立最佳实践并促进PUI的创新社区。该区域生态系统涵盖了几个农村机构，其中许多机构迎合了低收入和第一代学生，而其他人则对STEM领域的历史上代表性不足的学生有很大的代表。该队列非常致力于实施机构变更，以扩大对各自地区高级技能的职业机会的访问。总体目的是在队列成员之间建立互惠互利的关系，使每个机构能够在区域经济中发挥不断扩大的作用。该奖项的目的是为区域生态系统（Score）同类建立共生合作，该协作引入了一种创新的方法来增强STEM创新能力。这种方法从以本科生为中心的使命及其对他们所服务的学生和社区的强烈重视脱颖而出。拟议的项目设想了一种基于社区的方法，促进了创新和伙伴关系各个方面的最佳实践的发展，包括劳动力发展，专家学习，研究和创新，行业伙伴关系，投资者，企业家精神和监管问题。作为一个实践社区，小学的本科机构的队列将合作，学习和成长，同时维护卓越的价值观，作为该项目的核心方面。该队列将带来的最大的集体影响将来自满足各地区经济和社区需求的能力，并扩大机构能力，以使学生成为高级，快速发展的STEM劳动力。 A broader impact of this cohort-based learning community for innovation will result in infrastructure for innovation capacity, continued collaborations, enhancing innovation capacity for the STEM workforce, and developing models and best practices for PUIs nationwide.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed precious of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
