New funding is available for transdisciplinary projects and events focused on the climate and nature emergency.
As part of the Institute’s focus on inter- and trans-disciplinary coordinated efforts to address the climate and nature emergency, we invite faculty at UBCV and UBCO and their associates to submit applications for the PWIAS Catalyst Collaboration Fund.
The available funds ($180,000) will support 2 project streams for up to $10,000 per project:
Catalyst Collaboration Fund Stream 1 – Seed or match funding for transdisciplinary collaborative research projects related to climate and nature emergency.
Catalyst Collaboration Fund Stream 2 – Events focused on scholarly, artistic and research collaborations (e.g. academic roundtables and community engagement events) and knowledge translation and mobilization (e.g. videos, resources, open-access courses, larger public-facing events) related to the climate and nature emergency.
The PWIAS Catalyst Collaboration Fund has 2 funding cycles:
Deadline Cycle 1: Sep. 15, 2022
Deadline Cycle 2: Nov. 15, 2022
More information about how to apply is available on the PWIAS website.
