Climate Research Clusters
The new Climate Research Clusters program will support ambitious, university-wide endeavors that produce useful and practical solutions to pressing climate problems. Research clusters will represent interdisciplinary efforts to take on climate problems that are narrow enough to ensure concrete solutions, but broad enough to ensure significant progress in meeting the world’s climate challenge. The Salata Institute is currently soliciting new cluster proposals. Concept proposals are due by April 1, 2024.
