This grant will support the primary objectives of the Center for Applied Research, Technology and innovation (CARTI) at North island College (NIC) - to provide exceptional opportunities for student learning while supporting the innovation needs of our communities. This NSERC Mobilize grant will enable CARTI to continue to pursue short applied research projects in our current specialty areas and further expand into new areas including coastal forestry, housing innovation, and alternative energy solutions with new partners. These increased opportunities allow for additional student involvement and applicable student training for the development of highly qualified personnel in these projects each year. The hiring of a business development officer (BDO), a part-time budget officer, and a part-time research technician will help CARTI better reach out into our community to develop projects. The BDO and budget officer positions will increase capacity to develop and manage new research projects, while the research technician will help to coordinate field work, maintain and oversee NIC's research facilities and equipment, and assist in student training. As outreach into our community is a major strategic goal for NIC, this grant will aid in sharing the knowledge gained from our applied research with our partners, communities, regional and sector-based networks, and other colleges.These activities will enable NIC to offer exceptional training to more students and provide innovation advances to support local businesses and organizations who contribute to socioeconomic development of the region and Canada.

这笔赠款将支持北岛学院 (NIC) 应用研究、技术和创新中心 (CARTI) 的主要目标 - 为学生提供特殊的学习机会，同时支持我们社区的创新需求。 NSERC Mobilize 赠款将使 CARTI 能够继续在我们当前的专业领域开展短期应用研究项目，并与新合作伙伴进一步扩展到新领域，包括沿海林业、住房创新和替代能源解决方案。这些增加的机会使得每年有更多的学生参与和适用的学生培训，以培养这些项目中的高素质人才。雇用一名业务发展官 (BDO)、一名兼职预算官和一名兼职研究技术员将有助于 CARTI 更好地接触我们的社区来开发项目。 BDO 和预算官员职位将提高开发和管理新研究项目的能力，而研究技术人员将帮助协调现场工作、维护和监督 NIC 的研究设施和设备，并协助学生培训。由于深入社区是 NIC 的一个主要战略目标，这笔赠款将有助于与我们的合作伙伴、社区、区域和部门网络以及其他大学分享从我们的应用研究中获得的知识。这些活动将使 NIC 能够提供为更多学生提供卓越的培训，并提供创新进步，以支持为该地区和加拿大社会经济发展做出贡献的当地企业和组织。
