The FY2019 Winter Catalyst cycle is open
To submit your proposal, use the unique URL sent to you in your LOI submission confirmation email
Catalyst Grants are offered in the fall and winter for short-term, small-scale projects that either support collaborative sustainability research planning and partnership development, or enhance the real-world application of sustainability research.
These grants are intended to help better define an issue or decision maker needs, gather resources, develop partnerships, and determine next steps for larger projects that connect research to action. They can also be used to extend and apply existing research by developing outputs that support decision-making or action.
