About the Department:
George Mason University's Institute for a Sustainable Earth (ISE) puts Mason research and scholarship into action for a more just, prosperous, and sustainable world. It serves as a networking organization designed to connect diverse faculty, staff, and students across all of Mason's academic units with each other and with local, national, and global partners to build vibrant communities of research and practice and enable transdisciplinary research of consequence. The ISE community includes over 500 faculty and student researchers who conduct research in the natural sciences, social sciences, computational and data sciences, engineering, and humanities across all areas of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. ISE fosters partnerships focused on end-use research impact. Our growing network includes dozens of community-based organizations; local, tribal, state, and regional governments; professional associations; research collectives; and international environmental organizations.
Mason's Virginia Climate Center (VCC) provides products and services to Virginia municipalities and firms to support adoption of climate risk prevention and mitigation strategies for wise resource management and sustainable entrepreneurship. Local decision makers gain access to an unprecedented range of observational data, environmental models, and experts in climate science, sustainability, and engineering solutions. VCC's data-driven decision support helps save tax dollars and improve the livelihoods of Virginians, increasing resilience to severe weather, air pollution, drought, and floods, with an emphasis on the underprivileged communities that are most susceptible to adverse effects of climate change. The VCC initially focused its work in Northern Virginia and ultimately intends to scale this effort to serve communities throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. The VCC was originally supported by a federal (NOAA) Community Project Initiative sponsored by Representative Gerry Connolly.
The ISE and VCC - in collaboration with the Center for Climate Strategies and the University of Kentucky - recently received a $6 million grant from the National Science Foundation's Accelerating Research Translation (ART) program to create university-wide programming that enables the rapid, low-cost translation of the science that local governments, community-based organizations, and local businesses need to support the development of sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient communities. Drawing inspiration from the cooperative extension service, this project will establish a transformative new model for research translation; one that leverages the unique resources of higher education, in collaboration with community stakeholders, to support increasing resilience to climate change.
This award will accelerate the translation of research into practice to create climate-ready communities throughout Virginia (objective 1); establish and foster a culture of translating research through community engagement, technical assistance, and the co-production of research-informed products (objective 2); and create a climate-ready workforce of scholars, practitioners, and leaders with the skills and expertise needed to put research on climate change into practice (objective 3). These programs will be organized into three distinct but interrelated and integrated categories of activity: (a) facilitated and coordinated outreach and ongoing engagement with municipal and other community-based stakeholders; (b) community-focused research translation that is propelled by a modified lean launchpad program that supports the development of seed translational research projects (STRP); and (c) integrated training programs to create a climate-ready workforce.
About the Position:
Working with the Accelerating Research Translation (ART) Project Manager, the ART Project Specialist collaboratively develops, implements, and manages a suite of ART programs which will include research translation and workforce development programs.
