The 50% increase in available funding means more teams will be awarded in this cycle
We are excited to announce that we have increased the total amount of funding available for the 2021 Innovation Grants Program from $300,000 to $450,000. This expansion will enable us to award six teams up to $75,000 this cycle.
“Scaling our grants program is a key component of our 2021-25 Strategic Plan,” said Ben Packard, EarthLab executive director. “We are grateful to the growing community of EarthLab supporters who believe in our ability to achieve impact through this popular, community-engaged applied research program.”
This year, the EarthLab Innovation Grants Program is seeking proposals for research at the intersection of climate change and social justice. Projects must show an ability to generate equitable and actionable science and knowledge (i.e., science that is usable and used). Two-page Letters of Intent (LOIs) are due January 27, 2022 at 5 p.m. PST. Learn more about the full program details below.
