The Green Grants program from the NYU Office of Sustainability provides opportunities for faculty, students, and staff to petition for a grant to conduct research or implement a project based on environmental sustainability.
One example of a course to come out of Green Grant funding is the Urban Food Lab, which is a course offered at the Tandon School of Engineering which builds off of a previous Green Grant project. The Urban Food Lab gives students the opportunity to lead independent projects related to an aquaponics system and incentivize community engagement to create a future generation of professionals interested in community development.

Faculty members can apply for up to $20,000 in funds to conduct the research and/or implement a project or incorporate sustainability into existing or new coursework.
