Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for South Dakota Fellowship Applicants
The Banking Institution's Fellowships For Americans grant program is designed to support graduate students and academic professionals in South Dakota, with a focus on specific outcomes that align with the state's unique characteristics and needs. The South Dakota Governor's Office of Economic Development, in partnership with the state's research institutions, has identified key areas where fellowship projects can drive meaningful impact.
Aligning with South Dakota's Economic Development Goals
One of the primary outcomes prioritized by the grant program is the advancement of research and development in industries critical to South Dakota's economy, such as agriculture, tourism, and renewable energy. Fellowships that support dissertation research or academic projects focused on these sectors are likely to be given priority, particularly if they demonstrate potential for economic growth and job creation. For example, a graduate student researching innovative agricultural practices or an academic professional analyzing the economic impact of tourism on rural communities could be strong candidates for funding.
The state's unique geography, with its mix of rural and frontier counties, also makes it an ideal location for research on rural development and community resilience. The South Dakota State University's Rural Development Initiative is one example of a regional body that is working to address the challenges faced by rural communities, and fellowship projects that align with this work may be given priority. The Missouri River, which runs through the state, is another distinguishing geographic feature that presents opportunities for research on water management, conservation, and environmental issues.
Measuring Success in South Dakota
To measure the success of fellowship projects, the Banking Institution will be looking for clear outcomes and deliverables that align with the state's priorities. These may include the production of research papers, data sets, or other outputs that can inform policy and decision-making at the state and local level. Applicants will need to demonstrate a clear understanding of how their project will contribute to the state's economic development goals and how they will measure and evaluate their success. The state's existing research infrastructure, including institutions like the University of South Dakota and South Dakota State University, will be critical in supporting these efforts.
In addition to advancing economic development, the grant program also aims to build research capacity in South Dakota by supporting the development of early-career researchers and academics. By providing funding and other resources, the program seeks to help awardees build their research portfolios and establish themselves as experts in their fields. This, in turn, is expected to have a positive impact on the state's research ecosystem as a whole.
