This $150,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving (EJCPS) Cooperative Agreement Program (CFDA 66.306) will support the Bisbee Science Exploration and Research Center (BSERC) in designing five research field stations focused on addressing the most pertinent environmental issues in the Bisbee, Arizona community. The field stations will cover topics related to water, agriculture, mining reclamation, renewable energies, and one additional topic identified through community input. The project involves collaborating with a consultant to produce schematic designs and pricing plans for the five stations, conducting community engagement and feedback sessions, and recruiting environmental researchers. The intended outcomes include increased community awareness and involvement in local environmental issues, expanded research opportunities, supplemental education resources, and enhanced community capacity to mitigate climate change effects. The award period is from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, with pre-award costs approved back to April 1, 2024.
