The University of Maine was awarded a $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) for a one-year planning project ending January 31, 2024. The planning grant will focus on developing a future proposal for the NSF's Research Infrastructure Improvement Track-1 program. Over the one-year period, the University of Maine will conduct strategic planning, analysis, and outreach to mature a research concept in decarbonization and renewable resources in Maine's emerging green economy. Key activities include assessing the state's human and research networks, conducting economic and workforce analyses, and developing strategic documents and events to unite the University's existing research centers around this topic. If successful, the planning effort aims to strengthen Maine's competitiveness for future Track-1 funding to establish large-scale, interdisciplinary research relating to the state's forest resources and climate solutions industry.
