Quality of Life Council Announces New Funding Category for 2011 Grant Competition

The Quality of Life Council is pleased to announce a new funding category to be added to the 2011 grant competition. The category of “Sustainability” will be added for community-based research projects which focus on environmental conservation and sustainable solutions to community and global challenges.

Research in the area of sustainable natural resource management to protect and preserve the environment, and environmental education will be considered under this category. Proposals will be given consideration with regard to the degree to which the proposal advances scholarship and the practice of sustainability as understood through the multidisciplinary and multicultural lenses of environment, equity, economy and student learning. In addition, proposals should emphasize anticipated broader impacts and synergies beyond the NSU community, including regional or global reach.
