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.
