Final Scientific Report for DE-SC0023215, Expanding Collaborative Capacity to Address Climate Resiliency in the Great Lakes Region
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, Award DE-SC0023215, Expanding Collaborative Capacity to Address Climate Resiliency in the Great Lakes Region, supported capacity and partnership building between researchers at Central Michigan University (CMU) and scientists at DOE laboratories. The work involved identifying potential collaborations both internal to CMU and between CMU researchers and DOE staff, developing collaborative research proposals, and partnering on pilot-scale research projects focused on enhancing resilience of Great Lakes communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure to global change and environmental stressors. DOE funds supported travel, time to develop collaborations, investigate new research pathways, and draft grant proposals, and a loan of DOE equipment to collect pilot data in support of future work. The project achieved its goal of strengthening research collaborations between interdisciplinary researchers at CMU and establishing new collaborations and partnerships between CMU and DOE scientists. These collaborations resulted in 5 pre-applications and 4 full applications for funding to DOE BER Funding Opportunities, a successfully funded DOE BER award (DE-SC0025260), a new pilot project that leveraged DOE resources (AquaBOT) to improve understanding of water quality conditions in Michigan rivers, and two presentations of preliminary results at national scientific conferences. This project’s outcomes will benefit the Great Lakes Region via new lines of collaborative research focused on improving the resilience of Michigan communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure.
