Opportunity Information: Apply for PD 10 7643
The Environmental Sustainability program aims to promote engineering research focused on creating sustainable systems that benefit human well-being while preserving natural environments. It seeks to ensure the long-term viability of natural resources essential for human survival, balancing ecological protection with economic stability.
Research is organized into four primary areas:
1. **Industrial Ecology**: This involves modeling advancements like life cycle assessment and materials flow analysis. The goal is to understand material usage and replacement with less harmful options, analyzing the impacts on waste.
2. **Green Engineering**: This area encourages sustainable practices across various chemical and manufacturing processes, as well as the development of green buildings and infrastructure. Special attention is given to innovative water and wastewater treatment methods and improvements in distribution systems to foster sustainable growth.
3. **Ecological Engineering**: Here, the focus is on restoring ecological functions within natural systems. Projects may include stream restoration and urban river revitalization, emphasizing the necessary engineering principles for sustainable ecological practices.
4. **Earth Systems Engineering**: This encompasses large-scale engineering initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change.
Proposals should clearly demonstrate how they address environmental sustainability and must involve at least one graduate student and possibly undergraduates. The typical funding duration for unsolicited awards is one to three years, with an average annual award amount around $100,000. CAREER awards last five years, with submission deadlines in July.
Additional information is available on the program's website, and specific types of proposals like rapid response and exploratory research require prior discussion with the program director.Apply for PD 10 7643
