Applications Sought for I-CREWS Seed Funding Program
I-CREWS Seed Funding allows the program to respond to new opportunities and/or pursue high-risk, high-impact research projects. Two sizes of awards (small and large) are divided into two categories, all directly related to Energy-Water challenges. One category is Convergence Research and Education, open to any qualifying team or research partnership in Idaho. This category includes projects driven by a compelling problem that demonstrates integration across disciplines (nonacademic collaboration is optional). The other category focuses on community-engaged collaboration to support co-produced research and education outcomes with communities (including Tribal representatives) through integration and co-production using local knowledge.
