    Iowa Space Grant Consortium
    A part of NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program since 1990, the ISGC continually strives to improve and inspire Iowa’s future in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The ISGC supports NASA-relevant STEM research, education and outreach activities for all Iowans with NASA internships, fellowships, and scholarships, competitions for grants within higher education members (with NASA Mission Directorate alignment), as well as informal education grants with outreach affiliates. The ISGC is primarily funded under NASA Award No. 80NSSC20M0107.

    Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics
    The Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics was founded in 1992 in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University to interest, educate and engage citizens in the political process. The center honors Carrie Chapman Catt—distinguished alumna of Iowa State, leader of the U.S. women’s suffrage movement, crusader for international peace, and advocate for the expansion of women’s rights throughout the world.

    Horizon II
    Horizon II is an innovative program that compensates farmers in Iowa and Missouri for harvesting winter crops and prairie. This biomass, alongside manure and other agricultural or municipal waste, serves as a feedstock for anaerobic digesters to produce renewable energy. The program aims to advance a climate-smart agricultural system in the U.S., reducing greenhouse gas emissions from commodity production and promoting year-round ground cover. Additionally, the initiative expands existing supply chains for renewable natural gas (RNG), biofertilizers, and carbon credits, while enhancing soil health, water quality, flood control, and wildlife habitat. Supported by a USDA Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities grant and led by Roeslein Alternative Energy, Horizon II is a collaboration between fourteen partners committed to enhancing rural vitality.

    Consortium for Cultivating Human And Naturally reGenerative Enterprises (C-CHANGE)
    C-CHANGE is the Consortium for Cultivating Human And Naturally reGenerative Enterprises. Collaborating institutions work to build science-based partnerships for meeting 21st-century challenges in agriculture, technology, and innovation. Partnerships are needed to meet the goals of delivering abundant, affordable, and safe food and energy to 10 billion people while also returning value to people and the land. A major project outcome of C-CHANGE is Grass2Gas (hereafter, simply G2G), a multi-institutional, transdisciplinary partnership working to evaluate the potential of a new bio-based value chain on U.S. farms, with emphasis on the generation of biogas, potentially upgraded to renewable natural gas (RNG), and other associated bioproducts through the anaerobic digestion (AD) of herbaceous biomass combined with manure. Initiated in 2020, the G2G project is funded by a five-year, $10 million grant (Award No. 2020-68012-31824) from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute for Food and Agriculture(USDA-NIFA). It represents a partnership between Iowa State University; Penn State University; Roeslein Alternative Energy, LLC; USDA-ARS National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment; and 33 partner organizations.
