Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Vermont Doctoral Students The Banking Institution's grant program for doctoral students supporting dissertation research and writing in the United States political process and public policy is geared towards fostering research that can inform and improve policy outcomes in Vermont. A key priority outcome for this grant is the generation of high-quality, policy-relevant research that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities facing Vermont.Vermont's distinct demographic and geographic features, such as its rural landscape and aging population, present unique challenges for policymakers. The Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development (ACCD) has identified the need for innovative solutions to support rural economic development and address the state's workforce shortages. Research that explores these issues and provides actionable recommendations for policymakers can have a significant impact in Vermont.### Informing Policy Decisions in Vermont The grant's focus on the United States political process and public policy aligns with the Vermont State Legislature's efforts to address key policy issues, such as affordable housing, healthcare access, and education reform.

For example, research on the impact of Vermont's Act 250 legislation on rural development or the effectiveness of the state's healthcare reform efforts could provide valuable insights for policymakers.The Vermont Humanities Council and the Vermont Community Foundation are also organizations that support research and projects that promote civic engagement and community development in Vermont. While their focus areas may differ from the Banking Institution's grant program, their work highlights the importance of understanding the complex issues facing Vermont's communities.## Measuring Success in Vermont The success of the grant program will be measured by the quality and relevance of the research produced by the doctoral students.
