A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage faculty research in sustainability:
Faculty participation in sustainability research is largely provided through internal pilot research funding from the International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy and Sustainability (I-CARES), the McDonnell Academy Global Energy and Environment Partnership (MAGEEP), the Institute for Public Health and the Consortium for Clean Coal Utilization. Additional funding through the Office of Technology Management’s Bear Cub Fund and the Vice Chancellor for Research University Research Strategic Alliance program are focused on technology development and facilitating new interdisciplinary connections, respectively. Those they two aren’t fully devoted to sustainability research they are certainly programs under which sustainability research would fit well.
