Accolades Climate Change Global Change Grants News Research

GCC faculty seed grants awarded for 2019-2020

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Each year, the Global Change Center (GCC), along with the Institute for Society, Creativity and the Environment (ISCE) at Virginia Tech, accept proposals from GCC faculty to support interdisciplinary research that will lead to collaborative proposals submitted to extramural funding sources. We seek projects that link multiple faculty programs and take advantage of unique combinations of expertise at VT, have societal implications and/or a policy component, deal with emerging global change issues that have regional significance, and have high potential to eventually leverage external resources.

Congratulations to the teams awarded GCC seed grants this fall![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_cta h2=”Red Tide Impacts” txt_align=”center” style=”outline” color=”pink” add_icon=”top” i_icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-building-o” i_color=”pink” i_background_style=”rounded” i_size=”lg” i_on_border=”true” i_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.globalchange.vt.edu%2Fred-tide-impacts%2F|||”][hr_shadow]
