Overarching Goal Clause Samples
Overarching Goal. The goal of North Dakota's RII Track-1 effort, New Discoveries in the Advanced Interface of Computation, Engineering, and Science (ND-ACES) is to build greater capacity to facilitate innovation within ND's bioscience sector in sustainable fundamental, applied, and translational research as well as broaden participation and economic engagement beyond commodities. Specifically, ND-ACES’ research will expand ND’s familiarity, expertise, and research capacity related to the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells that mimic primary and metastatic tumors. ND-ACES will expand bioscience capacity by leveraging current and new investments that lead to new knowledge and increase ND's competitiveness. Success in this arena will help diversify the state’s economy beyond the boom and bust agriculture and oil (commodity) sectors. ND’s S&T Plan (Appendix F) identifies bioscience as an emerging area of critical importance for RU research emphases and addresses state priorities for economic growth. Prior to the submission of this NSF RII Track-1, the ND EPSCoR State Steering Committee (Appendix A) reviewed and confirmed the relevance of the S&T Plan to the ND-ACES research and they will continue to make recommendations regarding future focus areas. ND-ACES is poised to dramatically enhance success in building capacity for bioscience research in ND and sustaining innovative science in the state. ND-ACES, through efforts at the RUs, MCU, PUIs, and TCUs, enables the capacity-building that helps transition the CCBSE into a mature entity for research innovation. This effort includes shaping the expertise and capabilities in research and development areas that align with federal priorities while addressing the sustainability of important growth areas for the state. The CCBSE addresses the potential for biosciences research growth in ND and will build capacity for innovative research that focuses on specific Strategies detailed in the state's S&T Plan by calling for investments in the emerging biotechnologies sector (Strategy 1.A.1.iii); associated support for the development of a "biosciences/biomedical" research corridor in the Red River Valley, where both of the RUs are located (Strategy ▇.▇.▇.▇▇); expanded support across ND for materials science research (Strategy 1.A.1.vii); increased state investments in advanced scientific computing and visualization (Strategies 1.A.5; 2.B.1, 2.B.6, 4.B); support and expansion of infrastructure in key research and development areas (St...
Overarching Goal. The student will gain skills in order to handle all aspects of independent living to be self-sufficient and to be successful in a job. Instruction Includes: Cleaning techniques to cover bathrooms, kitchens, floors, windows, etc.; food preparation to include menu planning, budgeting, grocery shopping, basic food preparation to advanced food preparation; general banking, budgeting, organizational skills, keeping calendars, and more. Students will have home management class each day with class time averaging one hour and 40 minutes. Each student also receives one-on-one training in these areas at their apartments. Students are required to handle all aspects of apartment living by the time that they complete their program. Students plan and prepare a dinner party for six in their apartments. Next, they plan, shop for and prepare a meal for 15 people and at the end of their program, the student will plan, shop for and prepare a meal for 60. All grocery lists and menus must be put into Braille.
Overarching Goal. The student will use Braille in order to meet goals in the area of employment. Instruction Includes: Beginning Braille, writing on the slate and stylus and the Braille writer, advanced Braille, methods for increasing reading and writing speed, UEB Braille is taught and music and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ code, if applicable. We expect that the student should gain proficiency in Braille so that they will use it in all areas of their lives. Braille skills are essential for college and for employment. Students receive one hour and 40 minutes of instruction each day.
Overarching Goal. To develop a closer working relationship between town and country.
Overarching Goal. The student will have the ability to travel independently in order to meet all personal and employment goals. Instruction Includes: Basic cane techniques, indoor travel, residential travel, semi-business travel, high traffic areas, methods for taking the city bus, light rail and more, beginning to advanced street crossings, use of cardinal directions, use of all environmental cues, use of technology in independent travel and instruction in address systems. Students have this class each day Monday through Friday for one hour and 40 minutes average. We work with students on their level. Initially, the student will learn the Center building and the route to and from our student apartments. Students complete a support drop toward the middle of their program. At the end of the program, the student completes an independent drop and must plan a travel day to travel to four unfamiliar destinations.
Overarching Goal. The student will establish a viable vocational goal, gain job readiness and job seeking skills and be prepared for employment. Instruction Includes: Career exploration and counseling, career assessment, techniques in interviewing, speech class, development of a resume and cover letters, internship if applicable, and assistance in the area of job placement. Our employment specialist works with each student in all areas listed above. We want each student to have a clear direction before they complete training with us.
Overarching Goal. Student will develop skills to repair basics in their homes and will build a project using power equipment. Instruction Includes: Methods for fixing faucets, wiring, painting, drywall, etc.; use of basic hand tools and power tools; developing skills to measure accurately, planning and building a project. Students develop a great deal of confidence in themselves and realize that they can do much more than they ever thought. They further develop their math skills through measuring. We are able to determine the student’s aptitude for working on mechanical items.
Overarching Goal. Each student will develop skills and confidence so that they can fully compete with their sighted peers in college and handle all tasks. Instruction Includes: Methods in areas of note taking, acquiring text books, accessing on line classes, using tools like blackboard, methods to succeed in taking STEM classes, campus orientation, and working with disabled student offices. Students who are planning to attend college will be in this class. They are given assignments, tour campuses and may take an online class.
Overarching Goal. The overarching goal of this project is Implementing such a European system will be subject to the following constraints: • Any access to personal information can only take place with a citizen’s explicit and in- formed consent; • Any access is in the context of a resident of one state visiting another state and seek- ing healthcare in that state. It is noted that this proposal is only one element in a wider strategy to promote and encour- age the development of an interoperable European eHealth infrastructure and services that builds on the eHealth strategies of individual member states. This is a long-term goal that 1 e-Health – making healthcare better for European citizens: An action plan for a European e-health area. COM(2004) 356(final) involves considerable work beyond the scope and timescale of this large-scale pilot. Essen- tial requirements of any solution are that it must: • be centred on the needs and wishes of citizens, patients and their carers (including wishes with respect to confidentiality and consent) • maintain, and preferably enhance, patient safety • be capable of being supported by all member state administrations within the context of their national health regulations, strategies and eHealth implementations.
