Salata Institute Seed Grant Program: Proposal Deadline

The Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability at Harvard University solicits proposals for funding under its Seed Grant Program in Climate and Sustainability. The program is open to Harvard faculty who have Principal Investigator status. Awards will be a maximum of $25,000 for a period of one year. 

Funding will be available in the following categories:

1. Early-stage research in climate change and sustainability that could potentially form the basis for a full proposal through standard (typically external) funding channels.
2. New project funding that will enable faculty whose work is not normally in climate change and sustainability to explore potential pathways to extend their research to this area or, for faculty already working in the field, to branch out in new climate change and sustainability research directions.
3. Interdisciplinary research in climate change and sustainability involving collaboration among two or more faculty members who represent two or more Departments or Schools and who have not previously done joint research.
4. Funding for workshops that will bring together researchers (academic and/or non-academic) to spur research into understudied or emerging topics in climate change and sustainability.
5. NEW: early-stage interdisciplinary research across the Harvard schools on quantifying health outcomes after solutions or interventions in climate change mitigation and/or adaptation. The home school of the Principal Investigators of these projects must be the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
