Event Details

Today the SGC released a solicitation announcing $17.1 million available in funding through the second round of the Climate Change Research Program. These funds will be awarded to proposals focused on the development and deployment of transformative, low-GHG technology. The Program supports research on reducing carbon emissions, including energy, adaptation, and resiliency, with an emphasis on California, and explores strategies that protect vulnerable communities and landscapes. Funds for this program are part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities. The updated Research Investment Plan and the Notice of Funding Availability can be found onSGC’s website.

A follow-up announcement later this week will provide information about a webinar scheduled for mid-October to answer questions about the Round 2 solicitation and about the process for applying to the program.

Applications must be submitted to SGC no later than 5:00pm PST on Friday, November 9, 2018.
