Award: TITLE: BUILDING PANDEMIC RESILIENCE IN NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THIS GRANT IS TO TEST A MOBILE, EFFICIENT, AND RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE RENEWABLE-ENERGY BASED ELECTRIFICATION RESPONSE IN NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES TO BUILD PANDEMIC RESILIENCE THROUGH POWER GRID INFRASTRUCTURE.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: THE PROJECT TEAM WILL DEVELOP A MODULAR, SELF-CONTAINED, SOLAR-POWERED, ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM BACKED MICROGRID THAT CAN BE DEPLOYED IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH INSUFFICIENT POWER GRIDS. THE TEAM WILL DEVELOP A NOVEL SILICON-CARBIDE (SIC) AND GALLIUM-NITRIDE (GAN) FAST-CHARGING NANOGRID-TIED SYSTEM OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES AND A COMPACT, SOLAR-POWERED, AND ENERGY STORAGE INTERFACED 4 KW POWER SYSTEMS. THE TEAM WILL ALSO DEVELOP A COMPACT, LOW-COST, AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT GAN/SIC-BASED AIR-QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM WITH PATHOGEN SENSING AND DISINFECTION CAPABILITIES.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP RELIABLE, AFFORDABLE, QUALITY ENERGY SOURCES THAT CAN SUPPORT MOBILE HEALTH CARE UNITS, EXPANDED ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IN NATIVE COMMUNITIES, AND NEW EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE OPPORTUNITIES.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES IN RURAL AREAS WILL BENEFIT FROM DELIVERY OF CRITICAL MEDICAL SUPPLIES; HOME POWER SYSTEMS THAT CAN SUPPORT REFRIGERATION, LIGHTING, AND CRITICAL MEDICAL EQUIPMENT USING RENEWABLE ENERGY; AND AIR QUALITY SENSORS, AND AIR-QUALITY CONTROL AND MITIGATION SYSTEM TO REDUCE AIRBORNE INFECTION RISKS.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE RECIPIENT PLANS TO SUBAWARD FUNDS TO CONDUCT RESEARCH INTO THE FOLLOWING THRUSTS: MODULAR CONTAINER-BASE MOBILE MICROGRID AND COMMUNITY POWER SYSTEM, SCALABLE HOME POWER SYSTEMS, AND COMBATING INDOOR RESPIRATORY INFECTION USING FLEXIBLE AIR-QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEMS.
