The Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems (SyracuseCoE) has begun accepting applications for its 2024 Faculty Fellows program. The initiative, aimed at sparking new externally sponsored research at Syracuse University and its partner organizations, is seen as a tool to propel economic and workforce development for businesses in New York state.
Since its inception in 2015, the Faculty Fellows program has supported 63 researchers with 96 awards, totaling over $1 million in project funding. SyracuseCoE is now inviting proposals from faculty researchers for innovative research and development efforts in its focus areas: Clean/Healthy Air for Buildings and Communities; Clean/Low-Carbon Energy for Buildings and Communities; and Clean/Safe Water for Buildings and Communities.
In this round of funding, approximately $125,000 is available. Up to $15,000 per award is available for faculty proposals without industry collaboration while up to $25,000 per award is available for proposed projects that engage with a New York state company. Funding will be available starting in June, with awardees given up to 12 months to complete their projects.
To qualify for application, a faculty member must hold a full-time appointment at one of the SyracuseCoE’s academic partner institutions: Syracuse University, the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF), SUNY at Oswego or SUNY Upstate Medical University. Tenured, tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty are all eligible to apply.
The Faculty Fellows Program is funded by Empire State Development Division of Science, Technology & Innovation (ESD/NYSTAR). The deadline for applications is Friday, May 31. Full details can be found on the 2024 SyracuseCoE Faculty Fellows Program webpage where applications can also be submitted through the Syracuse University Application Portal.
