The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $438,918 Project Grant under the CFDA 47.079 Office of International Science and Engineering program to the University of Cincinnati to facilitate the "Global Problem Solvers in Sustainable Living" (GPS-SL) initiative. This 3-year collaborative research and education program aims to develop a world-class U.S. STEM workforce skilled in addressing complex engineering challenges of sustainable living within tropical regions. Key project activities include: 1) Semester-long virtual research preparation and professional development for 24 U.S. students; 2) Collaborative advanced research in sustainable solutions such as solar-powered aquaponics, remediation of coastal metal pollution, and AI-enabled agricultural price monitoring. The initiative generates knowledge, innovative practices, and cross-cultural competencies to support affordable and effective sustainable living in the tropics, with the goal of enhancing students' career prospects and benefiting the global technical workforce.
