RCEI Groundwork Grants


Apply by June 2, 2025

Applications are now open for the RCEI Groundwork Grants programs! These planning grants will fund capacity building activities such as: organizing collaborative meetings or workshops; fostering networking opportunities; literature review for preparation of external funding proposals; and more.

Our work has never mattered more. We all understand the stakes. The Earth continues to warm, and human and ecological communities suffer from the impacts of a changing climate. The creativity, passion, and stubborn resolve RCEI affiliates and their students have for their climate change and renewable energy scholarship persevere.

Your contributions will support graduate students and early career scholars, research programs that develop real-world solutions, and building connections between the arts and sciences.

Now, more than ever, we need you.
