USAID Launches New Science Program
美国国际开发署开展新的科学研究项目

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) last week announced major awards at seven universities in the United States and abroad to support “development labs” that will design innovative, low-cost approaches to improving health and reducing poverty and conflicts.

美国国际开发署（USAID）上周给美国国内和国外的7所大学颁发了一项重大奖项用以支持“发展实验室”。这些实验室旨在设计新颖而低成本的方案来提高健康水平，减少贫穷和冲突。

The program, called the Higher Education Solutions Network, intends to invest $130 million over 5 years. Each of the seven institutions will receive grants of up to $5 million a year, with a 60% required match by the universities. As an example of the kinds of projects the program wants to encourage, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah cited a cheap bucket filter designed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge to remove arsenic from groundwater in Bangladesh. Pedro Sanchez, of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, says the concept of the awards is very innovative. “It’s a great step forward,” he adds.

该项目叫做高等教育解决方案系统，会在5年内出资1亿3千万美元。7所科研机构中的每个单位都会收到每年500万美元的资助以及本校60%的匹配资助。MIT设计了一种低成本的筒状过滤器能过滤Bangladesh地下水中的砷，USAID 执行官Rajiv Shah援引此例作为项目中各个课题的学习榜样。Columbia大学地球研究所的Pedro Sanchez表示奖项的理念非常新颖，“是巨大的进步”。

The winners are Texas A&M University; Makerere University in Uganda; MIT; Michigan State University; Duke University; the University of California, Berkeley; and the College of William & Mary. USAID intends to call for more proposals in the future.

获奖单位有：Texas A&M University;乌干达的 Makerere University; MIT; Michigan State University; Duke University; the University of California, Berkeley; and the College of William & Mary。USAID计划未来征集更多的项目申请书。
