Academic Level: Faculty & Administrators
Description: Each year the School seeks proposals for new, interdisciplinary partnerships of faculty to address sustainability grand challenges through creative research and synthesis activities. Global Challenges Research Teams advance sustainability through integration of environmental, societal, and economic knowledge in a team-based, creative approach to solve real-world problems.
The School issues a request for proposals each December with a late January deadline for the following academic year. Successful proposals will bring together researchers from across disciplines at CSU; address pressing global and regional sustainability issues through new research, new approaches to existing research, or research synthesis; are highly innovative and enterprising in their approach; and are applicable to real-world sustainability challenges. Join our mailing list to be notified when the request for proposals opens.
