2009 Grants Program
The resources provided by the IEE through the Grant Program are a key component of the
universitys strategic plan to support and enhance its energy and environmental enterprise. A
maximum of $350,000 will be available for the 2009 IEE Grant Program. The program
provides for two types of grants according to the following parameters:
Interdisciplinary Research Grants (IGs): IGs will provide seed funding to support
pioneering, interdisciplinary faculty research in energy and environment with the goal of
generating highly-competitive external grant proposals that target large, multi-investigator,
and center-level opportunities. IGs may also provide leveraged support for interdisciplinary
teams to pursue funding opportunities exceeding $750,000 opportunities that have a high
probability of being funded. Multidisciplinary efforts are strongly encouraged. These awards
may be used to hire proposal coordinators, proposal writers, etc. The individual award limit
is $50,000/per year for a maximum of two years
Campus Sustainability Grants (SGs): SGs will provide support for projects that foster a
sustainable campus environment. The goal of these grants is to assist faculty, staff, and
students in making cost-effective energy and environmental improvements to Ohio State
facilities. Projects can be either energy or environmentally focused but all projects must
make a direct connection to sustainability. The individual award limit is $50,000.
