Initiative awards four pilot grants for climate change-focused projects:
The Population Health Initiative announced the award of four, $50,000 climate change-focused pilot grants to support interdisciplinary teams of University of Washington researchers to develop preliminary data or proof-of-concept needed to pursue follow-on funding to scale their respective efforts.
“We are pleased to support these four teams in generating new discoveries in areas ranging from sustainable materials to aiding cities to achieve net-zero emissions,” said Ali H. Mokdad, the UW’s chief strategy officer for population health and professor of health metrics sciences. “These projects, if successful, will deliver findings that can help to make immediate contributions in addressing the climate crisis.”
Each applicant for these pilot grants was previously awarded a climate change planning grant to support project planning during summer quarter 2023. Details regarding the four funded projects, project teams and focus of each teams’ research can be found in the tabs on their website, linked below…
