Project Classification

Green Grants must fall under at least one of the following categories:
- Operations - Projects that pilot innovative ways to improve material, physical, or infrastructural elements at NYU, from food services to energy reduction. Please note that proposed projects that alter the physical structure of any NYU building (i.e. roofs, windows...etc.) fall outside the scope of the Green Grants program and are not eligible for funding.
- Engagement - Activities that foster a campus culture of sustainability, such as efforts to improve environmental literacy, advance environmental justice, and stimulate behavior change and activism.
- Research and/or Design - Research or design projects that create new sustainability opportunities. These projects must be integrated with the university campus or community through use of NYU as a test-bed for data collection, or by producing deliverables with potential to catalyze operational, academic, or cultural change at NYU. “Living Lab” projects are encouraged as they cyclically engage both data collection and application. Entrepreneurial ideas typically fall under this category, and both for-profit and non-profit ventures are eligible.
- Academic - Projects which improve the university’s capacity for educating around sustainability, including curricular initiatives. We highly recommend that faculty are involved in these projects.

Have you previously submitted a proposal to the Microgrant or Green Grants Program? *

Yes No
Please provide the Project Name, Date of Submission, whether the grant was awarded, and whether/how this current proposal is related to your previous submission. *
Partners

List all internal (academic departments, administrative offices, etc.) and external (government agencies, partner institutions, businesses, NGOs, etc.) individuals and organizations that you intend on collaborating with. If you are working on a project that takes place on an NYU Campus, you must obtain and attach statements of approval or support from collaborators. For example, if your project is to install sensors on recycling bins in residence halls, you will need a statement of approval from the Office of Residential Life and Housing Services. Supplemental letters of approval from external partners are highly encouraged, but not necessary.
List all internal and external partners *
Project Timeline
Set forth a timeline for your project. Green Grant projects must finish within one year of launch. Students must be matriculated for the duration of their grant. Faculty, staff, and administrators must be employed by NYU for the duration of their grant. Be as specific as possible with dates. Include both the project start and end dates. *
