Grant Overview
Why Utah is a Distinct Hub for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Research
Utah's unique blend of cultural, economic, and geographic characteristics makes it an attractive location for research and capacity-building initiatives at minority-serving institutions (MSIs). The state's strong economy, driven by industries such as technology and healthcare, provides a fertile ground for interdisciplinary research collaborations. Utah is home to a diverse population, with a significant proportion of Native American and Hispanic residents, making it an ideal location for MSIs to conduct research and build capacity in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences.
The Utah Department of Cultural and Community Engagement, through its Office of Museum Services, supports research and cultural initiatives that align with the goals of the Build and Broaden grant program. Additionally, regional organizations such as the Utah Nonprofits Association provide critical support to MSIs and other non-profit organizations in the state. Utah's geographic features, such as the Navajo Nation and the Wasatch Front, present opportunities for research on issues related to rural development, environmental conservation, and economic inequality. The state's proximity to the Intermountain West region also facilitates collaborations with neighboring states, including Colorado and Arizona.
Regional Fit and Research Opportunities
Utah's research community is bolstered by the presence of several institutions of higher education, including the University of Utah and Utah State University, both of which have a strong track record of research in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences. These institutions have established partnerships with MSIs, such as the Navajo Technical University, to advance research and capacity-building initiatives. The state's research community is also supported by organizations such as the Utah Science Technology and Research (USTAR) initiative, which provides funding and resources for research and development projects.
Utah's economy is characterized by a mix of large corporations and small businesses, with a strong presence of technology and startup companies along the Wasatch Front. This economic landscape presents opportunities for research on issues related to entrepreneurship, innovation, and workforce development. The state's small business grants and business grants in Utah can be used to support research and capacity-building initiatives at MSIs. Additionally, the Utah Arts Council provides grants for arts and cultural initiatives, which can be used to support research in the social and behavioral sciences.
Leveraging Utah's Strengths to Advance Research and Capacity-Building
To maximize the impact of the Build and Broaden grant program in Utah, MSIs and other stakeholders can leverage the state's unique strengths and resources. This includes partnering with state agencies, such as the Utah Department of Workforce Services, to access data and expertise on issues related to economic development and workforce development. MSIs can also tap into the state's thriving non-profit sector, including organizations that provide support services for women and minority entrepreneurs. By building on Utah's existing strengths and resources, MSIs can advance research and capacity-building initiatives that address the needs of the state's diverse population.

Q: Are there any specific opportunities for MSIs in Utah to partner with state agencies or private sector organizations on Build and Broaden grant projects?
