The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,000,000 Cooperative Agreement grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of North Dakota (UND), in collaboration with North Dakota State University, Kansas State University, Haskell Indian Nations University, Turtle Mountain Community College, and Nueta Hidatsa Sahnish College. The grant project, titled "RII TRACK-2 FEC: Sustainable Engineering Infrastructures and Solutions for Tribal Energy Sovereignty", aims to research and develop technologies to provide sustainable, reliable, and efficient engineering infrastructures and solutions for tribal energy sovereignty. Key focus areas include scalable photovoltaic-thermal systems, robust energy storage, renewable fuels from waste, and power microgrid technologies. The project also encompasses educational activities to train tribal members and expand their technical capacity to implement renewable energy sources for building tribal energy resiliency and independence. This collaborative effort between the participating universities and tribal colleges/universities will be assessed for environmental, economic, and social impact to support tribal nations' energy sovereignty. The project period runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2027.
