Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes in Vermont's Research Capacity Building Initiative
The Grants for Infrastructure Improvement Research program aims to enhance research capabilities in Vermont by supporting extended collaborative visits to top research centers. A key priority outcome for Vermont is to leverage these grants to address pressing issues in the state's economy and environment. The Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD) plays a crucial role in administering various grant programs that can complement the research capacity building efforts under this initiative.
Focusing on Vermont's Unique Challenges and Opportunities
Vermont's distinct economy, characterized by a strong tourism industry and a significant agricultural sector, presents unique challenges and opportunities for research and development. The state's rural landscape and frontier counties face distinct hurdles, including limited access to resources and infrastructure. By focusing on priority outcomes that address these challenges, Vermont can maximize the impact of the Grants for Infrastructure Improvement Research. For instance, research collaborations could focus on sustainable tourism practices, innovative agricultural technologies, or strategies to support rural economic development. The Vermont Community Foundation and the Vermont Humanities Council are examples of organizations that could potentially partner with researchers to address these issues.
The state's higher education institutions, such as the University of Vermont, are also critical partners in achieving the priority outcomes of this initiative. By supporting research collaborations between faculty and researchers from other institutions, Vermont can build its research capacity and create new opportunities for students and faculty. The Vermont education grants available through the state's Agency of Education can also be leveraged to support the development of research-informed curricula and training programs.

By focusing on these priority outcomes, Vermont can ensure that the Grants for Infrastructure Improvement Research make a meaningful contribution to the state's economy and quality of life.
