The Sustainability Institute (SI) at Ohio State is pleased to announce a request for proposals for the FY2023 Sustainability Proposal Development Grant Program. This funding mechanism will support teams of scholars from two or more distinct disciplines in the development of external funding proposals relating to one or more of the Sustainability Institute research program areas. Proposals must take an interdisciplinary approach and clearly consider key components and interactions of both human (social, behavioral, economic, or engineered) and natural (geophysical, environmental, or ecological) systems. To be eligible, the target funding opportunity must have a submission date on or before December 31, 2024. Preference will be given to teams that are pursuing funding in one or more of SI’s research program areas that also address climate change mitigation, adaptation, health, and/or justice.
SI anticipates granting awards ranging from $5-35k depending on the size and complexity of the proposal. SI will accept and evaluate requests for proposal development grants on a rolling basis with awards conditional on the availability of funds. The deadline to submit requests is June 1st, 2023, although available funds may expire before this deadline.
