An annual Syracuse University research grant has allowed students and faculty members to pursue sustainability-related projects this year.
SU’s Campus as a Laboratory for Sustainability grant was established alongside SU’s Climate Action Plan. The plan, which the university introduced in 2009, aims to completely eliminate SU’s net emissions of greenhouse gases by the end of 2040.
The grant awards up to $75,000 per project and has provided funding for sustainability projects since 2016. Six projects received funding in April 2020. Several students and faculty who received the funding said that it helped make their projects possible over the past year.
