| Department of Commerce | COOPERATIVE INSTITUTE FOR SEVERE AND HIGH-IMPACT WEATHER RESEARCH AND OPERATIONS (CISHIWRO) | $96,469,068 |
| Department of Energy | THROUGH THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED SOLAR-GEOTHERMAL DISTRICT HEATING AND COOLING (SOL-GDHC) SYSTEM, THE PROJECT TEAM EXPECTS TO GAIN A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE FINANCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF THE SOL-GDHC SYSTEM THROUGH REAL-TIME DATA COLLECTION IN THE DEMONSTRATION COMMUNITY. DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM, ITS DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION, OPERATION, VERIFIED PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS, MAINTENANCE PLAN, AND BUSINESS MODEL WILL PROVIDE A ROADMAP FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF THE SOL-GDHC SYSTEM OF VARIOUS (LARGER AND SMALLER) SCALES THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST AND OTHER AREAS OF THE NATION IN SIMILAR GEOGRAPHIC SITUATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS. OUR OVERALL PROJECT GOAL IS TO PROMOTE THE SOL-GDHC SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT IN THE U.S. BY PROVIDING INNOVATIONS IN DISTRICT GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM SIMULATION, DESIGN, INSTALLATION, OPERATION, PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT, AND WORKFORCE TRAINING. THE OBJECTIVES IN BUDGET PERIOD I (BP1) (PLANNING AND DESIGN) ARE: 1) TO IDENTIFY OPTIMAL DESIGN AND OPERATION PARAMETERS THROUGH A SIMULATION-BASED STUDY. 2) TO FINALIZE THE TECHNICAL DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM, INCLUDING A. FULL ENGINEERING FEASIBILITY AND TECHNICAL DESIGN FOR THE SOL-GDHC SYSTEM(S) B. TECHNICAL, ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT C. MAINTENANCE PLAN D. WORKFORCE TRANSITION OR DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING PLAN, AND E. PERMITTING PLAN 3) TO COMPLETE THE BP1 REPORT AND CONTINUATION APPLICATION. OBJECTIVES IN BP2 (DEPLOYMENT) ARE: 1) TO FINALIZE AS-BUILT DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND COMMISSION OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM IN THE DEMONSTRATION COMMUNITY. 2) TO EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SOL-GDHC SYSTEM THROUGH DATA COLLECTION. 3) TO IMPLEMENT THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PLAN IN CPN TO OPERATE AND MANAGE THE GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM. 4) TO DISSEMINATE THE TECHNOLOGY THROUGH PUBLICATIONS AND TRAINING WORKSHOPS. | $7,739,423 |

| Department of Justice | SINCE 2010, OJJDP HAS FUNDED OVER 30 PROJECT SITES TO IMPLEMENT COMPREHENSIVE, COORDINATED, COMMUNITY-BASED EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WITH PROBLEMATIC SEXUAL BEHAVIOR (PSB), CHILD VICTIMS, AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. REMARKABLY, EACH OF THE SITES HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT ADDRESSING MULTIPLE AGENCY, SYSTEM, AND POLICY LEVEL BARRIERS TO ESTABLISH EFFECTIVE PROCEDURES, POLICIES AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE FAIR AND JUST AND SUPPORT THE IDENTIFICATION, REFERRAL, ACCESS, AND ENGAGEMENT IN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE. TO FACILITATE THEIR SUCCESS, TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE (T/TA) HAS BEEN PROVIDED THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER’S NATIONAL CENTER ON THE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR OF YOUTH (NCSBY). COMPREHENSIVE T/TA PROVIDED BY NCSBY HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCLUDE INTENSIVE CLINICAL TRAINING IN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE FOR YOUTH WITH PSB AS WELL AS T/TA AND RESOURCES TO IDENTIFY AND OVERCOME BARRIERS, ADAPT EFFORTS TO FIT COMMUNITIES’ RESOURCES AND NEEDS, FACILITATE COMMUNITY COLLABORATION, DISPEL MYTHS HELD BY THE COMMUNITY, AND ENHANCE FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IN SERVICES. BUILDING ON PREVIOUS SUCCESS, NCSBY WILL PROVIDE T/TA TO THE FOUR ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS SITES AND CURRENTLY FUNDED SITES TO REACH THEIR GOALS TO (A) ESTABLISH COMMUNITY-BASED MANAGEMENT AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE FOR YOUTH WITH PSB, VICTIMS, AND FAMILIES, AND (B) IMPROVE THE COMMUNITY’S COORDINATION OF SERVICES THROUGH MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS. TO SUPPORT T/TA FOR THESE SITES, NCSBY WILL COLLABORATE WITH A TEAM OF CONSULTANTS WHO HAVE EXPERTISE IN JUVENILE JUSTICE, PROSECUTION, CULTURAL CONGRUENT SERVICES, IMPLEMENTATION, AND COMMUNITY CHANGE TEAMS. NCSBY WILL WORK WITH EACH OF THE FOUR AWARDEES EARLY IN YEAR 01 TO EXAMINE CURRENT COMMUNITY-BASED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND IDENTIFY BARRIERS AND SUPPORTS TO EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE IMPLEMENTATION AND SUSTAINABILITY. SHORT-TERM AND INTERMEDIATE T/TA NEEDS TO REACH SPECIFIC PROGRAM GOALS WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR EACH OF THE SITES. T/TA PROVIDED WILL INCLUDE ONSITE, ONLINE, AND MULTIMEDIA MODALITY AND OPEN DISCUSSION DURING THE CROSS-SITE MEETING AND SUBSEQUENT ONLINE MEETINGS. DATA ON THE PROVISION OF T/TA WILL BE REGULARLY COLLECTED, INCLUDING QUANTITY, QUALITY, AND IMPACT OF T/TA, FOLLOWING ALL OJJDP REQUIREMENTS. PROGRESS TOWARDS GOALS WILL BE REGULARLY ASSESSED, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SUSTAINABILITY PLANS IN YEAR 02. FINAL REPORTS WILL DOCUMENT PROGRESS, LESSONS LEARNED, AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEXT STEPS. FURTHER, A CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE PRACTICE GUIDE WILL BE DEVELOPED WITH OTHER DELIVERABLES RELEVANT TO PROFESSIONALS, CAREGIVERS, AND YOUTH ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN COLLABORATION WITH CONSULTANTS, OJJDP AND THE CAREGIVER AND YOUTH PARTNERSHIP BOARDS. THESE DELIVERABLES WILL BE DISSEMINATED, SUCH AS THROUGH OJJDP PORTALS, THE NCSBY.ORG WEBSITE, AND PEER-REVIEW PUBLICATIONS. | $2,700,000 |
| Department of Energy | THE SPECIFIC PROJECT OBJECTIVES ALIGNED TO DOE’S FOA GOAL FOR ACCELERATING THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF INNOVATIVE GEOTHERMAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES ARE: PROMOTE DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION BY DEVELOPING CUSTOMIZED DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION (DEI) STRATEGIES; CHARACTERIZE AND DESIGN THE SURFACE FACILITY TO FEED THE HEATING DEMAND OF THE END-USERS; PERFORM TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE GEOTHERMAL SYSTEM AND EVALUATE THE GRID IMPACT OF THE CURRENT SYSTEM BASED ON THE AVAILABLE HYDROCARBON WELLS; COLLECT PILOT PLANT OPERATIONAL DATA, DEMONSTRATE VALIDATION OF TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS, AND DOCUMENT LESSONS LEARNED; COMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL AND LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF SMART DDU SYSTEM FOR EXISTING WELLS; AND EDUCATE AND OUTREACH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDERS TO ESTABLISH CONFIDENCE IN GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SYSTEMS. | $2,444,609 |
| Department of Energy | IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY AND EFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION VIA OPTIMAL INTEGRATION WITH SHARED AUTONOMOUS ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A SYSTEMATIC AND SCALABLE APPROACH TO AN OPTIMAL INTEGRATION OF SHARED AUTONOMOUS ELECTRIC VEHICLE (SAEV) INTO THE NATION’S PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, PARTICULARLY IN THE UNITED STATES RURAL TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. THROUGH FIELD EXPERIMENTS AND DEMONSTRATION CONDUCTED IN A RESIDENTIAL TRIBAL COMMUNITY IN OKLAHOMA, THE TEAM EXPECTS TO GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACTS OF THE EMERGING AUTONOMOUS AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY ON BOTH THE INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNITY-LEVEL BENEFITS IN TERMS OF ENSURING ACCESS, EFFICIENCY, EQUITY, AND SAFETY OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. DOCUMENTATION OF THE SYSTEM DESIGN, DEPLOYMENT, OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCES, AND THE BUSINESS MODELS WILL PROVIDE A ROADMAP FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATIONS OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SOLUTIONS IN UNDERREPRESENTED RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES OF VARIOUS (LARGER AND SMALLER) SCALES THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST AND ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THE OVERALL PROJECT OBJECTIVES ARE: 1) TO DEVELOP A PUBLIC TRANSIT FLEET THAT INCORPORATES SAE AUTONOMOUS ELECTRIC VEHICLES INTO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING PERFORMANCE TARGETS: A) PUBLIC TRANSIT ACCESSIBILITY: IMPROVE PUBLIC TRANSIT RIDERSHIP BY AT LEAST 20%; B) TRAVEL EFFICIENCY: REDUCE TOTAL PASSENGER TRAVEL TIME PER PASSENGER MILES BY AT LEAST 25%; C) PUBLIC TRANSIT EQUITY: INCREASE THE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY INDEX (TSI) BY AT LEAST 60%; AND D) TRANSPORTATION GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSION: REDUCE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION RELATED GHG EMISSIONS PER PASSENGER MILES BY 40%. 2) CREATE PLANS FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, AND USER EDUCATION. 3) DEMONSTRATE COMMUNITY BENEFITS THROUGH PILOT TESTS IN THE CHOCTAW NATION OF OKLAHOMA. 4) DISSEMINATE TECHNO-ECONOMIC FINDINGS TO EXPAND THE SOLUTION TO COMPARABLE COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE. | $2,272,577 |
