MCubed officials announced the first 50 projects to receive $60,000 seed grants in phase one of the program
In a live-tweeted lottery today at @umichresearch #mcubed, MCubed officials announced the first 50 projects to receive $60,000 seed grants in phase one of the program. The $15 million, two-year pilot will give out 200 more early-stage grants soon, in an effort to jumpstart innovative, interdisciplinary work. Projects by Mary Carol Hunter, Joan Nassauer, Josh Newell, Shelie Miller, Paul Mohai, and Brad Cardinale from U-M's School of Natural Resources and Environment were six of the 50 chosen.

This past summer, a group of University of Michigan graduate students from the College of Engineering and the School of Natural Resources and Environment traveled to Liberia, West Africa as members of the student organization Sustainability Without Borders.  Sustainability Without Borders (SWB) is an interdisciplinary organization whose objective is to create a network of sustainability practitioners who develop and implement sustainability projects in rural areas of developing countries.
