Faculty Grants

Sustainability Science Faculty Grant competition:  March 1, 2011 deadline

Grants are intended to seed new research and to support projects that contribute to ongoing research that relates to the core concerns of "sustainability science," an emerging field of use-inspired research seeking to advance understanding of the interactions between human and environmental systems, and to apply such understanding to sustainability challenges relating to advancing human well-being and alleviating poverty in ways that simultaneously conserve the earth's life support systems. Proposals to explore sectoral applications of sustainability science in the areas of agriculture/land use/food, habitation, energy and materials, health and water are welcome, as are applications to integrated regional development. Interdisciplinary research approaches are encouraged where appropriate. A list of faculty research activities that are supported by previous faculty awards can found here.
