The Solar Geoengineering Research Program (SGRP) at Harvard University offers grants to support faculty research focused on solar geoengineering. The program aims to foster innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the science, technology, policy, and societal implications of solar geoengineering as a potential supplement to climate mitigation and adaptation strategies. SGRP supports research across natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, and humanities, and encourages projects that develop new research directions or expand existing work intersecting with solar geoengineering topics. The program also seeks to inform public debate and policy discussions on this emerging and controversial field.
