Exploratory Research Groups Call for Proposals

Back to News
March 9, 2023

Exploratory Research Groups (ERGs) are designed to support early-stage, exploratory research, scholarship and creative expression across a range of faculty/scholar-determined topics. The Sustainability Institute (SI) aims to support researchers and scholars from across the university in growing collaborative, interdisciplinary teams focused on sustainability or resilience topics. This program began in the fall of 2021 with the formation of fifteen new ERGs. SI is currently accepting proposals for the second cohort of Exploratory Research Groups. To learn more about the ERG program visit the ERG webpage and check out the new Exploratory Research Group Guide.

Proposals for new ERGs are being accepted through May 1st, 2023. Submit your proposal through Qualtrics.

Review the ERG Proposal Template before starting your Qualtrics submission.

Questions? Contact Courtney Price.

There will be two ERG Office Hours for those considering submitting a proposal and/or have questions about the program. Each session will be facilitated by a current ERG leader and the SI research program manager. Attendees can feel free to join for as little or as long as desired.
