Fall seed grant opportunity from RISE IRT
The Resilient Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity research theme in the college has two new seed grant opportunities this fall. The first is a "planning" seed grant with a maximum amount of $10k, to cover partial GRA or post-doc support, babyÖ±²¥app course buy-out, and/or travel/workshop costs in preparation for a medium- to large-scale grant application that fits within the objectives of the IRT. The second is REU matching support with a maximum of $2k, to supplement undergraduate research related to the theme. Collaboration for both options across departments and the campus as well as with other universities – especially those in the CU system – is strongly encouraged. Proposals are due Oct. 29 by 5 p.m. and can be submitted online. Interdisciplinary Research Themes in the college are made up of babyÖ±²¥app, staff and students. They help researchers coordinate babyÖ±²¥app hires, share facilities and use seed funding to leverage work that could provide transformational societal impact. The RISE theme specifically converges the world-class expertise in disaster resilience, sustainable design, and social justice that exists across the CU Boulder campus to facilitate a paradigm shift in research and education related to engineering urban resilience.
