Call for Notice of Intent (NOI)

The first stage is now open.  The Climate Solutions Research Collective (the Collective) is soliciting project ideas to be supported by the 2025-2026 Climate Solutions Scholars cohort.  

Deadline to submit NOI

Friday February 28 at 11:59pm. 

Eligibility

The lead applicant must be UBC Faculty. At least one additional co-applicant is required and must be a UBC Faculty member, Research Associate, or Postdoctoral Researcher from a different lab or research group than the lead applicant. Note that the objective of the program is to promote cross campus research collaboration. Additional UBC community members and off-campus partners are welcome as a part of the application team but are not required.  Students are not eligible to submit applications.

If a project is selected for the 2025-26 program, the application team must be available to act as project mentors and provide feedback and support to the student project group during the ten months of the program (September 2025 to June 2026 inclusive).  

Project Selection 

The objective of this program is to expand interdisciplinary climate research collaborations and encourage climate solutions-oriented research at UBC. This is an opportunity to explore a climate solutions-oriented research question from a fresh disciplinary perspective, develop collaborations with other researchers around climate solutions, expand the scope of your work, and/or tackle a real-world problem that is not receiving sufficient attention. Projects should be suitable for small teams (i.e. two to four) of graduate students to complete in ten months. 

Project Requirements:

Projects must have the following characteristics:

  • Initiate new, or strengthen existing, climate-oriented research collaborations across two or more disciplines; 
  • Provide opportunities for meaningful contributions by the Solutions Scholars (i.e. graduate students who apply through a competitive process once projects are selected); 
  • Have a clear plan for project mentorship from September 2025 through June 2026 by the application team; and
  • Deliver a product by June 2026.
