EREF Research Grants on Sustainable Solid Waste Management

Research grants that have ranged from USD 15,000 to over USD 500,000, averaging about USD 160,000 over roughly two years, for work on waste minimisation, recycling, waste conversion to energy and biofuels, waste diversion, and landfill management. There are no geographic restrictions, so non-US institutions may apply; the process starts with a two-page pre-proposal due 1 December, submitted by a qualified principal investigator rather than a graduate student.
