Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Iowa's Community Research Infrastructure Funding
Iowa's community research infrastructure is poised for growth, driven by the state's strong research institutions and innovative private sector. The Community Research Infrastructure Funding grant from the Banking Institution aims to support the development of world-class research infrastructure in computer and information science and engineering. To achieve this goal, the grant prioritizes outcomes that foster collaboration, drive innovation, and address pressing challenges in the state.
Advancing Research Capacity in Key Areas
The Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA) has identified several key areas for research focus, including advanced manufacturing, data analytics, and cybersecurity. Proposals that align with these areas and demonstrate potential for economic growth and job creation will be given priority. For instance, projects that develop research infrastructure for cybersecurity threats, such as those posed by the increasing number of rural telehealth providers, will be considered favorably. The state's research institutions, including the University of Iowa and Iowa State University, are well-positioned to drive innovation in these areas.
Iowa's unique geography, with its mix of urban and rural areas, presents both opportunities and challenges for research infrastructure development. The state's rural counties face distinct challenges, including limited access to high-speed internet and a shortage of skilled workers. Projects that address these challenges and demonstrate potential for statewide impact will be prioritized. For example, initiatives that develop research infrastructure to support rural entrepreneurship, such as the Iowa Small Business Development Centers, will be considered.
Measuring Success: Key Performance Indicators
To measure the success of the Community Research Infrastructure Funding grant, the Banking Institution will track several key performance indicators (KPIs). These include the number of research projects supported, the amount of external funding leveraged, and the number of jobs created or retained. Proposers will be expected to demonstrate how their projects will contribute to these KPIs and align with the state's research priorities.
In Iowa, the grant will support research in areas such as wind energy, agriculture, and healthcare, leveraging the state's strengths in these areas. For example, researchers at the University of Iowa are working on developing more efficient wind turbines, while Iowa State University is home to a world-renowned research program in agriculture. By supporting research infrastructure in these areas, the grant will drive innovation and economic growth in the state.
The state's business grants, such as those offered by the Iowa Women's Business Centers, provide additional support for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Furthermore, non-profit organizations in Iowa can access grants from organizations like the Iowa Arts Council, which supports arts projects across the state. By providing funding for research infrastructure, the Community Research Infrastructure Funding grant will complement these existing funding sources and drive progress in key areas.
Proposers should be aware that the Banking Institution has a strong interest in supporting projects that demonstrate potential for collaboration with other research institutions and private sector partners. By fostering these partnerships, the grant will drive innovation and leverage resources to achieve greater impact.
