Does the institution have an ongoing program that offers incentives for academic staff in multiple disciplines or departments to develop new sustainability courses and/or incorporate sustainability into existing courses? :
A brief description of the incentive program(s):
Seed grants are awarded with funding provided by the Binghamton University Road Map through the Provost's Office and the Division of Research. The goal of these seed grants is to encourage faculty to develop collaborative projects that stimulate the advancement of new ideas that can build Binghamton University's expertise toward a national reputation in the broad area of sustainable communities. This competitive, peer-reviewed program is providing initial support for proposed long-term programs of collaborative research that have strong potential to attract external funding.
The Sustainable Communities TAE has collected applications in January of 2020 for the purposes of aligning with the TAE's current research goals. The funding process is anticipated to take 3 to 6 months.
