Sustainability Research

Undergraduate Research

As high-impact practices, undergraduate research always is the key for the Sustainability Program. The program used to fund students participating in Adrian Tinsley Program (ATP) projects and summer internships.

Starting in Spring 2021, the program launched a new grant for undergraduate on sustainability through collaboration in an interdisciplinary team with students and faculty. The Interdisciplinary Sustainability Research (ISR) grant supports undergraduate research on sustainability through collaboration in an interdisciplinary team with students and faculty over the spring or the summer.

Our goal is to invite undergraduate students to develop their own ideas and solutions to challenges posed by faculty mentors and to offer students the opportunity to participate in professional, collaborative, problem-based research at the heart of sustainability.
