MnDRIVE Environment Seed Grant
Deadline Mar 14 2023 16:59 (CDT)
$55,000.00 to $75,000.00
Description


2023 Seed Grant Program

MnDRIVE Environment is requesting proposals for new and innovative Seed Grant projects. Seed Grant solicitation requests proposals that address one or more of the following goals:

  1. Reduce climate change and its impacts by increasing carbon sequestration.
  2. Enhance nature’s benefits to people by conserving or restoring biodiversity.
  3. Clean the air, soil, and/or water by preventing or reducing environmental contaminants.

Together, these goals help address the greatest environmental challenges, focus on research strengths at UMN, and complement other ongoing efforts (e.g., to support climate adaptation or emissions reduction). They also align with UMN’s systemwide strategic plan, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, IPCC and IPBES reports, and many external funding opportunities. Our current goals expand the scope of work previously supported by MnDRIVE Environment while also building on its past successes in advancing remediation solutions.

Seed grants provide support for either postdoctoral or graduate student researchers. Project teams must also include a local partner external to UMN (e.g., a company, Indigenous partner, governmental or nongovernmental organization).

Due Dates
Full proposal: March 3, 2023, 5 p.m. CDT

Forest Isbell, Director, MnDRIVE Environment
