Dr. Dan Pittman wins $1 million grant for Sustainability Hub from NSF!

The Sustainability Hub project is a transformative initiative that consolidates sustainability and well-being data from across Colorado into a single platform. This initiative fosters collaboration among community members, policymakers and researchers, empowering users from diverse backgrounds to engage with and draw conclusions from the data. By making this data accessible in one place, the hub facilitates evidence-based decision-making, leading to improved community well-being, economic prosperity and environmental sustainability.

The hub is not just another data platform; it is an integral part of a researcher’s sharing pipeline for results, thereby promoting the progress of science. It moves beyond being a simple data warehouse, developing new connections among information in a process known as data democracy. This approach empowers users to “own” their data, maintain their information, contribute new research and create new datasets, which in turn inform decisions affecting their well-being.
