    Spring 2024 ISF Travel and Research Grant Recipients

    May 21, 2024

    The Institute for a Sustainable Future is excited to announce the Spring 2024 ISF travel and research grant recipients. Recipients were chosen based on the quality of their research and alignment to the mission of ISF. Purdue’s Institute for a Sustainable Future promotes collaborative research that advances understanding of persistent global sustainability challenges as outlined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

    During Spring 2024, ISF awarded 20 travel and research grants to students in 13 different departments. These grants aid graduate students in presenting at major conferences for their fields and/or subsidize costs associated with conducting their research relating to sustainability. Topics range widely from evaluating electric vehicles to tropical cyclone predictability to management of invasive plants. A full list of the awardees, their mentors, departments and Projects are included in the table below.

    ISF will continue to support graduate students and post-docs with travel and research grants during the Fall 2024 semester.  The application portal for Fall 2024 travel and research grants will open on August 19, 2024. Projects or presentations occurring between July 1, 2024-December 31, 2024 are eligible for consideration. Students must have support from an ISF faculty affiliate to be eligible.  Priority will be given to projects emphasizing sustainability research, as defined by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and relevance to ISF initiatives, as well as those who have not received travel or research grants from ISF in recent semesters.  To learn more about ISF travel and research grants, and other student resources through ISF, please visit our website.
