Description
The Environmental Sustainability program, part of the Environmental Engineering and Sustainability cluster at the U.S. National Science Foundation, supports engineering research aimed at promoting sustainable engineered systems that support human well-being and sustain natural systems. The program focuses on five principal research areas: Circular Bioeconomy Engineering, Industrial Ecology, Green Engineering, Ecological Engineering, and Earth Systems Engineering. Research should be driven by engineering principles within an environmental sustainability context and may include social, behavioral, and economic sciences. The program encourages involvement of graduate and undergraduate students and supports proposals from unrestricted applicants.
