ECo Impact Awards
ECo Impact awards provide seed funding across Georgetown’s schools and campuses for projects that involve environmental and/or sustainability themes. Funding is designed to seed research projects and grant proposals that jumpstart new collaborations and interdisciplinary research inquiries. The aim of these awards is to transform ideas into actionable projects and to help make Georgetown and its scholarship greener and more vibrant. The ECo Impact Awards are accepting applications for Fall 2024 and the deadline for submissions is October 14th 2024.
