Fast Grants — Research-to-Impact Seed Funding (Cornell Atkinson & The 2030 Project)

About this program

Cornell Atkinson and The 2030 Project (a Cornell Climate Initiative) offer 2030 Fast Grants—rapid, research-to-impact seed funding to enable faculty-led, time-sensitive projects that accelerate ambitious climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience actions. Awards prioritize urgent, impact-oriented proposals that can be quickly translated to practice, including technology, nature-based, and policy-focused interventions. All PIs and Co‑PIs must meet Cornell’s principal investigator eligibility criteria; note the 2025 “AI & Climate” cycle is closed and applicants should consult the current RFP or contact the program for the next cycle.
