Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
UHM/soest will promote a fostering collaborative, multi-, trans-, and interdisciplinary research environment to tackle complex environmental issues. In this context our approach will involve integrating NIST scientists into UHM via adjunct status within appropriate soest units and with research teams across the UHM campus as applicable, providing them with the necessary resources and support to conduct cutting-edge research, as well as the opportunity to contribute to instruction of undergraduate and graduate students. We also encourage joint applications for external funding to enhance the impact of our collaborative efforts.
Expected outcomes
Expected outcomes of this partnership are to enhance the scientific understanding of plastic pollution, develop effective measurement tools and standards, and contribute to the global effort to mitigate plastic pollution's environmental impact.
Intended beneficiaries
Beneficiaries will include local, state, federal and industry partners through training, technology transfer and information on measurement of plastic pollution. The work will benefit industry, especially recycling industries, by providing technical information on recycling of marine plastic and possible unintended consequences of using plastic in infrastructure. The work will be of particular benefit to the pacific islands region who grapples with the problems of marine debris, microplastics and the leaching of plastic additives from plastic.
Subrecipient activities
The recipient does not intend to subaward funds.
