The Cornell China Center (CCC) has announced six new grant awards, totaling $140,000, to support research by Cornell faculty teams partnering with researchers in China.
Focused on building solutions to meet the United Nations’ sustainable development goals for China and the world, the 2021 awards include four joint seed fund grants to expand collaborations between Cornell researchers and counterparts at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou and two China Innovation Grants.
CCC-funded research thrived in the past year, despite the COVID-19 crisis and logistical challenges the far-flung teams faced – from international travel bans to the 12-hour time difference. The center made 13 awards in 2020, including joint seed funding to five Cornell teams partnering with Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Solar is a key piece of New York’s goal of reaching 70% renewable energy generation by 2030 under the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. With farmland seen by solar companies as prime real estate for their arrays, new research from Cornell University considers how to best balance solar development with the state’s agricultural sector and food production needs. WAMC s Jim Levulis spoke with Max Zhang, the study’s senior author and professor of mechanical engineering at Cornell.
Zhang: New York is really the frontier of solar development in the country, right. We have very aggressive goals for the climate, have a goal for solar and it s really exciting place to be, and it s a very critical time in history for us to make a difference.
