Sustainability Challenge Grants
The Sustainability Challenge Grant (SCG) program, established in 2015, is designed to engage and support multidisciplinary teams from the University community in the development of scholarly, creative, and research projects that promote sustainability by engaging students, advancing field(s) of study, and seeking to balance economic, social, and ecological factors.
The program is a collaborative effort of The Tracy Farmer Institute for Sustainability and the Environment and the Office of Sustainability. Funding support for the program is provided by the Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, the Provost, the Vice President for Research, The Tracy Farmer Institute for Sustainability and the Environment, and the Student Sustainability Council.
