National Science Foundation: Environmental Sustainability

This program provides funding for engineering research that supports human well-being and that is also compatible with sustaining natural (environmental) systems.

Grants will be given in four areas, including:

Ecological Engineering topics should focus on the engineering aspects of restoring ecological function to natural systems. Engineering research in enhancement of natural capital to foster sustainable development is encouraged. Many communities are involved in stream restoration, revitalization of urban rivers, and rehabilitation of wetlands that require engineering input. What is the fundamental engineering knowledge that is necessary for ecological engineering to function sustainability?
