Description

This funding opportunity from Schmidt Sciences seeks to catalyze transformative research on the decarbonization of urban mobility and the built environment. The program aims to address critical knowledge gaps in modeling complex interdependencies—such as land use, end-use electrification, and shared infrastructure—by supporting the development of novel methodologies, rigorous uncertainty analyses, and context-specific insights that inform real-world policy and technology deployment. The selected project should integrate both urban mobility and building sectors, generalize findings across diverse urban contexts, and enable interoperability with broader economy-wide models. Emphasis is placed on open science, FAIR research outputs, and the potential for actionable guidance to accelerate decarbonization.
