The Massachusetts Department of Higher Education, in collaboration with the state's minority-serving institutions (MSIs), will focus on enhancing research infrastructure and broadening participation in these fields.The primary target outcomes for Massachusetts under this grant include: advancing research in social and behavioral sciences at MSIs such as the University of Massachusetts Boston, a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) is not present but other MSIs are; fostering a more diverse and inclusive research community; and increasing the capacity of MSIs to compete for federal research funding. These outcomes are critical in addressing the state's pressing social and economic challenges, such as the high cost of living and the need for innovative solutions to workforce development.### Fostering Innovation and Workforce Development in MassachusettsThe 'Build and Broaden' grant will support research projects that drive innovation and workforce development in Massachusetts. For instance, research initiatives focused on the state's coastal economy and the impact of climate change on its communities can inform policy decisions and drive economic growth. Additionally, studies on the state's diverse population, including its significant immigrant and refugee communities, can help policymakers develop targeted interventions to support these groups. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development is actively working on initiatives that could be complemented by the research outcomes of this grant.The Massachusetts grant will also prioritize outcomes related to the development of research infrastructure at MSIs. This includes investments in state-of-the-art research facilities, research training programs, and mentorship opportunities for early-career researchers. By strengthening the research capacity of MSIs, the grant will help to create a more diverse and inclusive research community in Massachusetts, better equipped to tackle the state's complex social and economic challenges. The presence of research-intensive institutions and organizations like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the state highlights the potential for collaboration and knowledge transfer.### Measuring Success in MassachusettsSuccess under the 'Build and Broaden' grant in Massachusetts will be measured by the number of research projects supported, the number of researchers trained, and the amount of federal research funding secured by MSIs. Additionally, the grant will track outcomes related to the development of research infrastructure, including the establishment of new research centers and the creation of research training programs. Policymakers and researchers will be able to draw on data and insights from the grant to inform policy decisions and drive economic growth in the state.Q: What types of research projects are eligible for funding under the 'Build and Broaden' grant in Massachusetts?
