Description
The Seed Grant Program in Climate and Sustainability, administered by the Salata Institute at Harvard University, provides targeted funding to catalyze innovative research and convenings in climate and sustainability. The program is designed to support early-stage projects, interdisciplinary collaborations, and workshops that can lead to new research directions, external funding, or the formation of new academic communities around climate and sustainability topics. The program also encourages faculty from disciplines not traditionally engaged in climate or sustainability to explore new research pathways in these areas.
