Background

The NSF Engines Development Award 2305455 supports the development of a Regional Innovation Engine in Hawai’i (HI) and the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI) which will collaborate to collectively develop innovative climate resilient aquaculture solutions driven by indigenous knowledge systems and modern technology. Led by the University of Hawai’i, the network of collaborating partners, nicknamed “CliRAIM” for the Climate Resilient Aquaculture Innovation Megahub, will assess, plan, and coordinate the development of the Engine to facilitate the science, translation, commercialization, and scaling of products, methods and technologies for climate resilient innovations in aquaculture and related areas. The NSF Engines Development Award 2305455 will work with 18 Minority Serving Institutions throughout the Pacific region including all 10 of the University of Hawai’i System’s campuses statewide, in addition to: American Samoa Community College; Chaminade University; College of the Marshall Islands (Majuro); College of Micronesia (Pohnpei); Hawaii Pacific University; Northern Marianas College; Palau Community College; and University of Guam.
