Description

The Environmental Engineering program supports transformative fundamental research applying scientific and engineering principles to prevent pollution, mitigate ecological and human-health impacts, and remediate polluted environments. It focuses on understanding pollutant transport and biogeochemical reactivity to protect human and ecological health. Major areas include waste prevention and valorization, sustainable water supply and protection, environmental chemistry and transport, and engineering of the built environment. Proposals should emphasize novelty, transformative potential, and societal or industrial impact, with typical awards up to three years.
