Realizing Environmental Innovation Program

The Stanford Woods Institute seeks to support innovative solutions that private market, public policy and individual stakeholders can employ and are of significant consequence in solving pressing environmental challenges. REIP is a source for next-stage funding to move existing interdisciplinary environmental research projects toward actual solutions implemented by public stakeholders and private market actors.

Requests may be from $10,000 to $500,000 over three years. Grants are intended for projects that demonstrate significant progress to date and strong potential by private market or public end users to adopt the discoveries and meaningfully address environmental problems. This includes projects that advance novel technologies, practices, behavior change, public policies or a combination of these.
 

PIs with research projects deemed most promising in terms of achieving environmental solutions that best align with Woods focal areas and program priorities will be invited to discuss their project and its potential to translate into impact. Awarded projects will be announced in May 2025.   Further program details and a searchable database of the diverse projects and teams recently funded by the REIP grant program can be found at https://woods.stanford.edu/research/funding-opportunities/realizing-environmental-innovation-program
