Greening Grants: connecting efficiency to the federal research funding process

Efficient use of resources:

Maximize effective use of federal research funding

Minimize the environmental footprint of research

Why this is important

Scientists facing rising competition for federal funding

Non-defense US federal funding (blue line)

plateaued in 2003

Inefficiencies

Lack of awareness of what equipment resources exist on campus

Individualized space with individualized resources leads to duplication

2/25/2019Presentation Title and/or Sub Brand Name Here21

2/25/2019Presentation Title and/or Sub Brand Name Here22

Equipment duplication leads to not only inefficient use of equipment resources, but importantly, space resources

2/25/2019Presentation Title and/or Sub Brand Name Here23

Space is an important factor in

the overhead rate calculation!

Greening grants is a win-win for everyone

1. Scientists -> more money for research & easier access to equipment resources

2. Tax-payer & government -> better use of federal dollars

3. University -> benefit climate commitments & financial savings since federal overhead $$ do not cover all costs

4. Environment -> reduced research footprint

2/25/2019Presentation Title and/or Sub Brand Name Here24

What’s being done now?

Sample language that scientists can choose to add to proposals

• NSF, NIH – “Broader impacts” section, “Additional Review Consideration”

Continued outreach to federal contacts

Reduce administrative burden
