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. By supporting dissertation research in these areas, the grant can help inform policy decisions that affect Vermont's communities. 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. The Banking Institution will likely assess the impact of the research on policy decisions and outcomes in Vermont.

Research that takes into account the state's unique demographic features, such as its aging population and rural-urban divide, can provide valuable insights for policymakers. For instance, a study on the impact of telehealth services on rural healthcare access in Vermont could inform policy decisions on healthcare infrastructure development.Q: What types of dissertation research topics are most relevant to the Banking Institution's grant program in Vermont?
