\item Two of the infall candidates (N62 1 and N90 2) are embedded in infrared dark clouds along the edge of their expanding bubbles. The combination of photometry-based YSO identification, CS-based infall, location inside an IRDC and on the edge of an expanding bubble is strongly suggestive of triggered star-formation.  \item Using a two-component model, we estimate that one infall candidate, N117 3, has an average infall speed of 0.31 km/s and a mass infall rate of 2.9 $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ M$_\odot$/yr. These are consistent with intermediate to massive star-formation.  \end{itemize}  The three infall candidates are promising sources for further study to better determine the mechanisms involved in triggered star-formation. The two candidates near embedded in IRDCs are especially promising and are being mapped in a follow-up study (Devine et al., in prep.).
